Becoming Jen

Becoming Jen: My Journey to Mommyhood and Beyond

Even if you are not a mom you need to read this book! Becoming Jen had me laughing one moment and wanting to run to my kitchen the next so that I could make the amazing recipes that she includes. This is a book I highly recommend to all my mommy friends as it is a real mom's humorous perspective on love, marriage and motherhood. ~ Review by Nicole M Contreras

Book Description:

Becoming Jen is a hilariously truthful tale of one woman’s journey from being newlywed to newly mommy.  Using delicious recipes and awe-inspiring stories, she takes you on a journey through glorious Saturdays lounging in bed, to being woken up in the middle of the night by tiny ninjas.

Whether you're about to become a parent, or you just want to laugh and discover some scrumptious recipes, this book will have you snorting water from your nose and wondering what story she’ll tell next.

Excerpt:

Say “bye-bye” to randomness and everything that comes with it.

Knock, knock! Who’s there? Randomness! Ha-ha, no you’re not. You don’t exist anymore. The closest thing we had to randomness was “randomly” grabbing extra clothes without making sure they matched before taking off to the store. Which is a big deal; especially since I made sure that my girl matched in every way. Her outfit totally matched, her bib matched that outfit and her extra bib matched, because we all knew she was going to spit-up at least once. I did randomly hide pieces of candy in the diaper bag though. However, there was no randomness with me eating said pieces of candy; I ate those bad boys whenever I needed to grab something out of the bag, or when I had to put something back into the bag; sometimes when something fell from the bag. Ok, basically I ate candy constantly. Because I love candy; mostly sour candy and chocolate. And if I’m feeling really fancy, chocolate covered sour anything. And now I’m hungry. Anyone have any spare candy?

Christmas Bizarre

Christmas Bizarre: Mina Kitchen Cozy Mystery #2

UK USA CDN AU

What a fun read! Christmas Bizarre offers a nice bit of mystery, a little romance and a crazy cast of characters. Mina Kitchen is a down-to-earth hero that faces some definitely bizarre obstacles in her life. Bonus - some tasty looking recipes are included! Review by Margaret Horner

Guest Article by Lizz Lund

"Christmas Bizarre" is Mystery #2 in the Mina Kitchen series. One apt reader review is, "Seinfeld + Catch 22 + Pink Panther." That, and being awarded a 5-star review from “Readers’ Favorite.”

Mina's just a typical out of work gal - constantly looking for a new job, and constantly cooking - it's her form of therapy. In her journey for full-time career, she takes on a lot of goofy part time jobs to makes ends meet. Unfortunately for Mina, these ends often involve a bunch of knots - with Mina getting caught in the middle. As well as bit on the neck by a geriatric vampire - with dentures.

Mina has 2 pets; a cockatiel, Marie, and a "mini mountain-lion" size tabby, Vinnie. Her neighbor, Vito Spaghetti has a spare key to her place, and is more of a roommate since he's at her home more than she is. But that's mostly because of his Swiffer addiction. That, and Vito Spaghetti's not his name at all...

Her Aunt Muriel's church buddies, the St. Bart's Episcopal crowd, add a nutty backdrop to an already simmering plot.

A good read, "Christmas Bizarre" will keep you smiling when you're not LOL-ing. Warning: if you're more into Proust than silly humor, go no further. However, if you've enjoy authors such as Janet Evanovich, Erma Bombeck or Marian Keys - this might just be your cup of tea.

I am an author and blogger with personal experience in healing from candida.
I've experimented with paleo, vegetarian and raw food diets and I'm drawing upon the best of all I've experienced along the way. Even those who don't have candida will find this book a valuable guide to a balanced way of eating. Some great recipes and easy to follow cleanse.

Highly Recommend , I am actually feeling relief ~ Review by Melanie Jane ~ At last a step by step practical guide on not only meal plans and recipes but a shopping list to start with.

I know I have to move forward with a candida cleanse but what I have read to date before finding this book have not been clear enough.

I also find the various techniques offered to help me change the way I am thinking about myself and the cravings I experience are so useful.

This book is the whole package and it's obvious it's written by someone who has had to do this for herself, nothing like first hand experience.

20 Naturally Powerful Smoothies

 

Guest article by Milan Bakrania

20 Naturally Powerful Smoothies

Smoothies are popular because they’re easy to make. No cooking is required. All you need is a blender and the ingredients. But makes a great smoothie? Well, first it should be sugar-free, why? Because sugar is toxic and will make you fat, it’s as simple as that.

A smoothie should also be made with fresh and natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Processed foods should not even be considered for a smoothie. Other things to consider are consistency, calorie intake and quantity.

In my latest e-book (third in the Life Guides series) titled 20 Naturally Powerful Smoothies, I reveal 20 specially-crafted recipes based on natural, sugar-free ingredients for weight loss, muscle gain, sleep, great skin and more. Calorie information and short descriptions have also been added for your convenience.

“Breaking down fruits and vegetables into smaller components is one of the best ways of getting a huge hit of nutrients into your body quickly and easily.”- Milan Bakrania
