  • Plot Twist Patties: From Stuffed Vegetables to Crispy Patties

    Some recipes are carefully planned. Others are born out of kitchen chaos. That was exactly the case with these zucchini-eggplant patties. I started out fully committed to making stuffed eggplants and stuffed zucchini. I had the vegetables, the filling idea, the whole vision. Then came the first plot twist. The shells for both the eggplants…

  • Roasted Carrot & Ginger Soup: A Hug in a Bowl

    The humble carrot goes into the oven looking perfectly ordinary and comes out sweet, caramelized, and smelling like you’ve suddenly become the sort of person who can casually whip up a five-star soup on a weeknight. My goal has always been to have at least three or four vegetarian meals each week. Unlike Ryan (the…

    25 Years After the Glass Slipper

    It’s disappointing to me that there were no paparazzi lurking around after Cindy (formerly Cinderella) lost her glass slipper and her clothes at midnight. One minute she’s dancing at a ball, the next she’s sprinting down the palace steps, lost her stiletto and turned into a hot mess at midnight. And then, the next day,…

  • A Christmas Eve Fried Dough Tradition & FREE Short Story

    This time of year can bring back childhood memories for many people. For me, it’s my mom making cullurielli. Southern Italian sweet fried dough served on Christmas Eve. The kitchen would smell of warm, sweet fried donut-shaped pieces, sizzling in the pan. We couldn’t wait to dig right in. Cullerielli are crispy on the outside,…

  • A Stiletto Moment That Sparked My Novel’s Title.

    People often ask how I choose titles for my novels. Sometimes they come straight from the story, as they did with What A Girl Wants and Once Upon A Kiss. Decoy in Stilettos took a different path. My heroine, Ryan, faces danger, villains, her mother, and a romantic complication in heels without wobbling or needing…
