What, you may ask, do recipes have to do with novels?
I'm so glad you asked! If you're anything like me or
my reader friends, you like to nibble or sip something
good while you read that romance novel. And when
you're deep into a story, you don't want to be bothered
with distracting chores, especially cooking.
This page is where I'll share some of my
favorite snack recipes with you. Most are simple to
make and don't take much time or effort. However,
now and then, I may share a more complicated recipe,
simply because it's so darn tasty. From time to time
I also will share meal-type recipes, beverages, and
snacks. And, of course, plenty of desserts and
breads. Every month features a new recipe, so check
back often.
Happy reading and happy noshing!
I don't know about you, but I love chai. My sister visited India and brought home this easy-to make recipe. Cheaper and tastier than the store-bought mix.

Chai
makes two cups
- 3/4 cup whole or 2 percent milk
- 3/4 cup water (you can vary these amounts--such as using 1/2 cup milk and 1 cup water)
- 2 tsp black tea
- pinch (or more) of: cardamom, cinnamon, ginger
- sugar to taste (I don't like my chai super sweet, and use 1 tsp)
Combine in a saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 4 minutes. Use a strainer and pour into cups. Best if drunk within 30 minutes.
Yum!
Until next month, and Salivatingly yours,
