Today I can’t stop walking around the house talking to my dogs in a silly voice, and also answering back as if it were them. It got a little heated when my oldest baby basset tried to fact check my joke and he got a full blown sass back from the pups. The pups were relentless. I couldn’t stop them. Yes, it was me talking for my dogs. I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t stop. Let’s just say he left for school a little early. I’m still laughing. I don’t feel bad. My pups are also still laughing. Yes, I know they are not even in the room, but I can hear them because I am still talking for them.
The Baker and the Cowboy: Clean Romantic Comedy (Catalyst Series Book 1)
by Carolyn Kay Hanson
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
In this first book, we meet Catrina, the slightly eccentric but lovable matchmaker who is at the root of all the romances in this series. Through her efforts, and those of her assistant, Adrian, the characters in these stories find their perfect match, that person with whom they can enjoy their own happily ever after.
To B&B or not to B&B. That is the question for Bethany. She’s lost her boyfriend, her apartment, and her job. Catrina gives her an airplane ticket to Idaho to work for someone who wants to start a new bed and breakfast. A baker at heart, Bethany leaps at the opportunity to leave the city behind her and soon finds herself surrounded by pristine mountains.
Her new boss welcomes her warmly but his son, Beau, reacts to her in the opposite extreme. He’s adamant that a B&B will never work. His antagonistic attitude to the whole plan and his desire to send Bethany packing puts her in a tailspin.
When Beau turns into a recluse, Bethany asks about his background and discovers he’s been badly abused. She decides she must help him, and requests that he teach her how to ride a horse. When she suffers a concussion due to a freak accident, which he believes is his fault, Beau has a change of heart.

A Prairie Cookbook: Memories and Recipes
by Philip Wik
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine | Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
A Prairie Cookbook has recipes that were used to satisfy the hunger of pioneering families in the Midwestern United States.
I must frame your expectations before you read this book. These aren’t Old Country recipes. They’re recipes from the Midwest from the turn of the last century. You’ll find better recipes on how to make ox-tail soup, for example, on the internet and from other books, complete with full-spread glossy color illustrations. If you read this book for culinary how-to instructions or the art of gourmet, you’ll be missing the point. Rather, my goal is to open a window into a vanishing world through the doorway of taste. This book provides another dimension to understanding the lives of our ancestors. These recipes are as simple and as unpolished as those who worked the land. And yet they invoke an atmosphere that other histories may not fully capture. They become a kind of a time portal into the past. Crushed tomato leaves are an example for me. Their smell magically transports me back to my grandmother’s tomato garden when I was five years old. For you, it might be the smell of a holiday dinner or freshly baked cookies.
Despite the hardships they faced, the people of the plains had high aspirations and ideals. In 1918, my grandmother Emma’s husband Nicholas died during the Spanish flu pandemic that raged at the time. And yet she saw all eleven of her children go to college before and during the Great Depression.
A Prairie Cookbook helps provide the context in which these meals were lovingly prepared, for children, grandparents, and field hands, and for holidays, weddings, funerals, and for daily life. Both these recipes and the memoirs give us a glimpse of an important time in the history of our nation and give us insight into the simple but strong character of the homesteaders of the Midwest.
