What is your favorite drink?
“I love you more than coffee, but not before coffee.” author unknown
There’s something about that first taste of coffee in the morning. It smells wonderful, tastes like heaven and wakes up my soul.
Could I live without it? Yes. Will I? No.
What’s your favorite candy?
1. Father and son (Mars) are the M’s in M&M
2. The candy was inspired by rations given to soldiers during the Spanish Civil War
3. Were only sold to the military during WWII.
4. Didn’t have the “m” stamp until 1950.
5. There were no red M&Ms from 1976 & 1987 due to a FDA ban of the die FD&C Red No. 2.
6. They were the first candy to go to space.
7. The actual inventor of peanut M&M’s was allergic to peanuts. So he never got to have one (this is sooooo sad).

My favorite candy has some interesting history behind it. Now that I’ve done the research, I’m craving them. Time to go get my sweet tooth satisfied.
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
Waking up to the sound of the ocean coming through my sliding glass door, from my bedroom balcony, with my eyes still closed, thanking God in advance for this glorious day. I sit on the balcony watching the radiant colors of morning burst through the horizon, as daylight pushes back the darkness of night.
My house staff knocks on the door with my morning coffee and breakfast. My dogs sit next to me while I hang out with God and His masterpiece of a display. Another knock at the door, it’s time for my morning massage.
My library faces the ocean. This is where my laptop and I engage for the next writing piece. The ocean reminds me of who is charge. It inspires humility in that, no matter what I’m going through, God is bigger. My writing time comes to an end after a few hours, when the flow of ideas and rabbit trails slowly diminish.
Now it’s time to prepare for the family to come and enjoy the pool. We play and splash with lots of giggles and cannonballs. Nothing pressing us more than our sweet time together.
We all head in after sunset. I’m cooking in my custom designed kitchen while everyone sits at the breakfast bar or table. Some are reading, others are playing cards or board games and occasionally one or two come in to learn how to cook one of my recipes.
The liveliness of my family and pets fill the room. My heart is full and my soul is satisfied because God has blessed me far beyond what I could’ve ever imagined.
This is a picture of my ideal day.
What’s your favorite thing to cook?
My motto is: “If you leave my house hungry, it’s your own dang fault!”
Here are a few of my favorite recipes:
These are just a few of my favorites from what we call, “The Holy Grail, Cookbook”. This is my collection of recipes that my family loves and I get the most requests for a copy of the recipe.
Ironically, the recipe in and of itself isn’t the magic that is put in every bite. The magic ingredients are dash of joy and topped with a sprinkle of love.
There’s something about a good meal that brings families together and satisfies not just those hunger pains but the soul, as well.
I say it again, “If you leave my house hungry, it’s your own dang fault!”
