IT WAS GOOD!!!!!!!!!

I saw this on Facebook and decided to try it...I can't make candy to save my life. Much like my character Rowena (but I can bake). Anyway I made this and it's simple and easy and yes its Way YUMMY!!!!!!!


Here is the Recipe from ALLRECIPE.COM  http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fudge/detail.aspx

Directions

  1. Place chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter or margarine in large microwaveable bowl. Zap in microwave on medium until chips are melted, about 3-5 minute, stirring once or twice during cooking. Stir in nuts, if desired.
  2. Pour into well-greased 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Refrigerate until set.

HOT BURNING LOVE
 
 
 
Rowena may be the best witch of her generation when it comes to crystals and their healing power but keep her far away from the oven. No matter how hard she tries there is no way to break a curse decades old that prevents her from baking anything at all. And she as well as her five witch friends have tried it all. So every month a cookie club time she buys her cookies to the thankful cheers of the others.
Caine has fantasized about Rowena and her curves since they met years ago while she visited her best friend at the college they both attended. When a job opportunity comes up in her home town it’s too much of a temptation to resist. After all when you want something for so long there comes a time a man just has to go for it.
When passion flames between them can love fight the dark magic swirling around them determined to break them or will the fires that burn in the kitchen burn them as well.

Makin' Cookies

by Stephanie Beck


I'm known among my friends as the one who bakes and sews and knits, and generally does all the putsy stuff that some people enjoy. I admit it, I am 'some' people. I love that kind of thing. If I can bake cookies, knit a scarf, and have soup in the crockpot, by noon, the day has been well started.


So, writing a blog about baking should be easy...I had the best of intentions. I was going to get up early this morning, brown butter so it would cool, and make some delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookies with step by step pictures and instructions.


Yeah. Didn't happen.


HOWEVER. I did make scones. Sure, they were from a box. Sure I pulled them out of the freezer, tossed them on a baking sheet, and put them in the oven before the oven preheated--they still turned out amazing.

See? Beautiful raspberry and white chocolate scones courtesy of my excellent Schwann's Man, Sam.








I think Milly from my Cookie Club story would appreciate them. She's the kind of woman who can pull out the real baking when required, but isn't afraid of an Oreo.





Undersea Sweets
Milly Mystic is starting again. For a decade she was a trophy wife to a powerful wizard, and now that he's dead, she's reinventing herself. Who is the real Milly? The nice witch who sends cookies to her best pals? The carefree jet-setter? The only person she knows how to be now is the loaner sitting on her houseboat floating on Lake Superior. But maybe that's as close to the real Milly she's ever been. A fantastic opportunity is about to come her way, and one thing Milly has never been is afraid to try something new.

Prince Baldwin loves being a merman. He travels the world, eats lots of fish, and on occasion catches glimpses of the beautiful humans who intrigue him so much. When a mer-angel lands in his lap, Baldwin does the only thing he can think to do--kiss her. But catching Milly and keeping her are two entirely different things.

All the best,
(and I promise I will post the other recipe soon)

The First Cookie Clubber Romance is here....

The first Cookie Clubber Romance short stories is here...HOT BURNING LOVE by Dominique Eastwick.


Rowena may be the best witch of her generation when it comes to crystals and their healing power, but keep her far away from the oven. No matter how hard she tries, there is no way to break a curse decades old that prevents her from baking anything at all. And she, as well as her five witch friends, have tried it all. So, every month, at cookie club time she buys her cookies to the thankful cheers of the others.

Caine has fantasized about Rowena and her curves since they met years ago while she visited her best friend at the college they both attended. When a job opportunity comes up in her home town it’s too much of a temptation to resist. After all, when you want something for so long, a man just has to go for it.

When passion flares, can love fight the dark magic swirling around them, determined to break them, or will the fires that burn in the kitchen burn them as well.


Excerpt


The bell chimed, alerting them to a customer in the retail area. A moment later the door to the workroom swung open and in strolled the woman of his dreams. Although older than when he had last seen her, she looked better than he remembered. Her fire-red hair swung loose to her waist and the tight V-neck sweater emphasized her ample breasts. His dry mouth stopped anything he might have said.

“I swear I thought this would be the freaking month I could bake some cookies without burning them.”

Brianne laughed, grabbing a pile of packages from the shelf. Handing over the cookies, she shook her head “You’re my best customer. Why would I want you to succeed now?”

 “Bri, damnit, just to bake a dozen cookies it’s all I…Hello.”

Brianne rolled her eyes. “Oh, right. Row, you remember my friend from college, Caine. Caine, this is Rowena.”

 “Caine, what a pleasure to see you again.”

 “Same here.”

 “What brings you to Bakersville?”

 “He is applying for one of the openings at the Inn.”

Rowena’s brows shot up as she looked him up and down. He felt like a lioness’s next meal, but he wanted nothing more than to be devoured. “Now that is the best news I have heard all day.”
