That’s right, I went Live

In March I took the BIG leap of going Live on Facebook. Yes, it was a little scary. Okay. A lot scary. 🙂 But I survived. I’ve since learned how I can share Facebook Live videos here on my website so that’s what I’ve done. I know, I’m so techy. LOL. Only took a month.

In this video I talk about my second draft process. I hope you enjoy it.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Flourless Chocolate Cake

By | On April 11,17 | 0 Comment

There are times when a gal just wants chocolate. Deep, rich, dense chocolate. When that happens it’s time to make this cake. O.M.G. Right?

It’s been awhile since I tied on my apron and baked because I’ve been busy, busy, busy writing and tackling spring cleaning. On Sunday afternoon I decided I needed a treat. But just not any treat. I wanted something decadent. I wanted something that I usually don’t bake, after all I was viewing this as a reward. Chocolate and decadent. Hmm…Flourless Chocolate Cake. Perfect!

One of the reasons, other than tasting amazeballs (sorry, I’ve always wanted to write that into a sentence 🙂 ) it’s perfect for portion control because you just need a small slice to satisfy your craving. See, it’s a perfect dessert.

Ready to dig in? First, you need to bake it and it’s really a quick recipe. So lets get baking.
