Let’s not forget what this holiday’s about and remember all those who’ve served our nation. Thank you for your service.

Here’s hoping that everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend filled with family, friends, and great grilling. Here’s a terrific guacamole recipe to have with those hot dogs and hamburgers.

guacamoleTomatillo Guacamole – it’s absolutely more-ish!

Ingredients
3 avocados – peeled, pitted, and mashed
3 tomatillos, husked and chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
3 roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 blistered jalapeño chilies, seeded and minced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons lime juice salt and pepper to taste
Mist the jalapenos with olive oil and set them under a broiler on high to char and blister them

Enjoy!

 

 

Switching Gears!

mr. selfridgeThe Viking and I love, love going to the movies. We adore being taken to another place, another time. So many movies are debuting over the next couple of weeks; there’s George Clooney’s Tomorrow Land, San Andreas (OMG, my son lives there), Poltergeist (really?? ?like the first one didn’t do it). Not a single one of these hits my fancy. I would prefer to stay home.Right now, I’m in the middle of binge-watching Mr. Selfridge…I adore anything Masterpiece. So here’s a preview of this.

Sinner Sale!

Sinner-Jianne_Carlo-200x320Sinner’s on sale for the next two days!

So I’ll give away a copy of the book to the first ten people who comment on this post!!!

For any one who reviews Sinner on Amazon—I’ll send you the rest of the series—free!

You must provide proof of the review.

Here are what the reviewer’s are saying about Sinner:

Manic Readers Reviews: She has done it again! For me, the first thing that comes to mind after reading one of Jianne Carlo’s books is WOW! I can’t get enough! And SINNER is no different.
— Victoria Lynn

Whipped Cream Reviews: SINNER…the title alone is enough to capture your attention. Yet, it’s the snarky dialogue, sexy characters, and wickedly delicious humor that make this a journey worth taking. If you’ve never read anything by the uber-fantabulous Jianne Carlo, this is an excellent story to start with.
— Fern

logo - trr top pickSo, what can I say, I loved Sinner. Whew, baby! Jianne Carlo sure knows how to make me blush. SINNER has everything I LOVE in my romance novels. The hero is deliciously alpha and utterly smitten, the heroine is strong, the story was fast-paced and interesting, and it was sexy beyond belief.

 

Have a wonderful Thor’s Day!

 

 

Floki Rules!

I love this!

The only drawback to loving the series The Vikings is having to wait until Fall 2016 for the next season.

Sigh, began my new Viking series in consolation and to get a daily Viking fix.

 

Mother’s Day Flowers!

Though my boys brought me flowers and gifts, the best gift of all was having them all there together yesterday. The ‘wayward one’, who works for Google and lives on the west coast, made the  four day trip just to be here with all of us.

 

Love you guys. Here are some pics of all the Moms’ Day Flowers from family and friends.
