Name that Southern Comfort Food!

Just like with our upcoming horse, party guests from Facebook named their favorite southern comfort food.  But this time, we’re going to do something a bit different.  I want YOU to help!  Vote on one of the featured foods or supply your own.  (Recipe must follow if you win :))  This dish will be featured in an upcoming novel in the series AND my promo recipe cards.

Name that Horse!

This week we’re naming a horse in one of my upcoming novels in the Ladd Springs series. These names were submitted by visitors during my Facebook Release Party and we’re asking you to help us!

Welcome to the Authors in Bloom Blog Hop where some of your favorite authors & bloggers share their gardening tips, recipes and give away prizes!  As many of you know, in addition to my romantic fiction, I write a garden blog called BloominThyme.  What began as a victory garden (when victory gardens were cool :)) has now blossomed into a full-fledged hobby.  I love gardening!

I mean, who doesn’t love to be among flourishing beds of lush leaves, plump fruits and colorful vegetables?  From the bright fiery shades of hot peppers to the calming lavender of maturing black beans, my garden provides a glorious array of eye candy followed by a belly full of sweet harvest.

Okay–while that sounds wonderful and delightful, I’ve learned gardening doesn’t always work out so “gloriously.”  Sometimes the weeds take over, the tomatoes rot, the broccoli bolts, the ants eat the potatoes…  You get my point.  But once you learn a few secrets of the trade, you’ll be off to the hardware store buying a slew of lumber for your produce stand.  You’re gonna need it–especially after you’ve perused the myriad of gardening tips and fresh recipes over the next 10 days.  And remember, if my compost pile of oak leaves can grow sweet potatoes and parsley all by itself–so can you.
