Pleased to announce my latest eBook, "Enough Kindness to Fill an Empty Heart" has been published. It's been a great year.


It happened before, but never for this long. Rebecca's aunt left her alone in their apartment and hasn't returned. So far she's been able to elude the landlord and her principal, but time is running out.

Recipes Enough Kindness to Fill an Empty Heart





Anything in the Refrigerator Muffins






In my book, "Enough Kindness to Fill an Empty Heart" Rebecca calls this the Anything in the Refrigerator Muffin.  I love baking this muffin.  I've used many different combinations:

zucchini and carrots
zucchini and cherries
carrots and applesauce
carrots and blueberries
peaches and blueberries
zucchini, carrots and applesauce

Sometimes I only add one banana and sometimes only one egg, depending on how wet the ingredients are when I mix them all together.  Sometimes I bake them for 60 minutes instead of 50 and even leave them in the oven when they are done for awhile.  This is a very forgiving recipe.

When they are cool I turn them upside down on a cooling rack until the bottom dries.  Then I put them in a Rubbermaid container with paper towel on the bottom and in between layers.  I store them in the refrigerator and we have one or two for a night snack warmed up in the microwave and topped with Reddi Whip.  It makes for a delicious snack.  1 muffin is 1 point - 2 muffins are 3 points.








Tahquamenon Falls

Every year my husband and I try to go to these fabulous falls.

In my 13th book - Enough Kindness to Fill an Empty Heart - Corey, Beth and Rebecca go on a buying trip for the thrift store.  They take a side trip to see these.

In the second book of the Saginaw Series, Bertie's Bakery Heaven Scent, Katy and Jen are overwhelmed with the majestic waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Tahquamenon Falls is one of the largest falls west of the Mississippi. It is about 200 feet across with a 50 foot drop. The average flow is 7,000 gallons per minute, sometimes the flow is much more like on this day.
