Cooklander: To The Stove

12463728_10207121329865711_1320960011_nIn line with my Outlander obsession, I was so intrigued by and pleased to submit to the Cooklander cookbook, the brainchild of Debra McGill. One, because it involved the “fanmily” of Outlander; two, because sales from the cookbook goes to the three charities supported by Outlander royalty; and three, because I always have some treasured recipes I want to share with everyone.

Although all recipes submitted did not make it into the cookbook, I was fortunate enough to have both of my submissions published in Cooklander. As if that isn’t cool enough, I’m extremely pleased with the placement of them.

12449765_10207121342706032_1319593806_oMy Seafood Dressing is the first recipe under the Vegetables and Side Dishes section.

12449686_10207121336785884_1424637164_oWow, look at that! My Breast of Chicken with Sauce Champignon is right above a recipe submitted by showrunner Ron Moore, and his wife, costume designer Terry Dresbach. For an Outlander fanatic like me, that’s pretty wonderful.

To tie this in with Kelly Cain, author, there is a recipe in the cookbook that Liv from my New Adult Romance, Altered, makes – spinach enchiladas. The enchiladas’ recipe is from the creator and author of the Outlander series Herself, Diana Gabaldon. You will also find her mentioned in the acknowledgements of Altered.

A little more about the cookbook. Although not all recipes submitted were published, 550 were. That’s a bunch and these are recipes that are tried and true. These are family recipes (like my dressing) or simply recipes that have been made and enjoyed for years (like my chicken breast). Every continent is represented (except Antarctica) with almost 300 contributors.

If you want to purchase the cookbook, there are a limited amount available. Go to the website to find out more or to order, and remember, all proceeds go to charity.  Bloodwise is especially close to my heart since my dad has been living with leukemia for almost four years now. I’m copying the three charities supported from the Cooklander About page because they can do them more justice than I can:

  • Bloodwise – Formerly known as Leukemia & Lymphoma Research, is the UK’s biggest blood cancer charity. Working to beat, treat, cure and prevent blood cancers. Bloodwise researches, helps, campaigns, shares learning and raises money. Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser in Starz series Outlander, supports Bloodwise. See https://bloodwise.org.uk/ for more information or to make a direct donation to this organization.
  • NPH USA – supports Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (Spanish for “our little Brothers & sister”) raising children and transforming the lives of more than 3,400 orphaned, abandoned & disadvantaged children, in 9 countries, by providing shelter, food, clothing, healthcare, and education, in a Christian family environment, based on unconditional acceptance, love, sharing, working and responsibility. Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander book series, supports NPH USA. See https://www.nphusa.org/ for more information or to make direct donation to this organization.
  • World Child Cancer – Their mission is to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment and care for children across the developing world. Caitriona Balfe, who plays Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser on Starz Outlander, is the patron of World Child Cancer. See http://www.worldchildcancer.org/ for more information or to make a direct donation to the organization.

This morning I was laying out my plan today for a friend - work (day job) then continue reading a good friend's #ms. It's the first day in the last 5-1/2 weeks that I haven't planned to write because... 🥁 I finished my #wip yesterday. That's right folks, Essence of Fire and Spice is done. Now I'll let it sit for a bit and get feedback from my #critiquepartners then do the first revision. 📚 What are your hump day plans? 📚 . . . . . . . . . . . . #writerslife #nanowrimo #authorsofinsta #authorsofcolor
Packed and ready to go. Too bad my flight was canceled. The bad news is that I lose a day visiting family however the good news is I have a whole free day to write. 😉 📚 Are you more a glass-half-empty or glass-half-full-type of person?
Sooooo last night instead of drafting the story I'm already more than half way through and have been making good progress on this week, I spent the evening creating character sketches for a new story @amandalinsmeier gave me the idea for. Darn you, Amanda.
Whole wheat croissants are rising in the oven, then I'm off to play a few holes of disc golf, and later... writing. I wrote a couple of chapters Friday and was surprised to slide back into my ms so easily after vacation. 📚 What are your Sunday plans?
I tried to capture Italia in my breakfast today. While there, I had lots of fruit and an omelet with salmon, artichokes, and brie each morning. Not quite the same, but when I closed my eyes, I could almost hear the Tyrrhenian Sea.
I'm in Amsterdam in case you haven't checked out my stories and check-ins. I'm staying very near to where my great-grandmother grew up and I think that's pretty neat. Also... I'm having a blasty blast.
I'm going to enjoy my seafood stuffed portabello then get back to work on querying. I only have a few more to send so hope to be done by Wednesday. Then back to drafting. Can't wait. 📚 Happy Monday! What are your plans for the week? 📚
I've had a couple of harsh over-the-top weeks on the day job but I'm officially free-ish. 📚 Tomorrow I go back to the dreaded synopsis and then some querying, but tonight I celebrate my reprieve. 📚 TGIF everyone!
It feels like forever since I've made green chili. So yummy and comforting. 📚 Lurking in the background is my faithful laptop. The good news is I finished my revisions last night. The bad news is I have to write a synopsis today. Nothing I loathe more I think. The thing is... I've already written one but now that I've learned more about them, I definitely need to start over. 📚 What's your comfort food?
I haven't had a lot of time to revise since Thursday, but last night I carved out some time before bed. I'm feeling much better about getting this done soon and out for query. I'm looking forward for Faith and Andrew's story to go out into the world. 📚 Have a loving week! 📚
I'm just sitting down for my first cup of coffee of the day and beginning the day's revision work. I've had a lot of errands and distractions this morning so tomorrow I'm going to wake up and head straight to the coffee shop to get some good quality writing time in. 📚 Do you read / write better at home or out somewhere? 📚
This is my RWA conference haul. Most are signed and if you saw my stories, that's where I got to meet Alyssa Cole who I admire so much. I was pretty much speechless and I'm sure she thought something was wrong with me, but she was gracious nonetheless. Another standout was Alisha Rai whose Forbidden Hearts series I really enjoyed. She was soooooo kind and engaging. An author who I'd heard good things about but haven't read yet is Mia Sosa. Again so nice (and she complimented my hair eep lol) so I can't wait to read her. 📚 Happy Friday! Are any of these on your #TBR or have you read any? 📚
