Chef’s Plate – Affiliate
Inflation sucks and groceries are expensive, so why not try out Chef's Plate for a free meal of your choice in your first box? #life #groceries #inflation #food #authorlife #ad

Hey All,
So, my sister recommended I try out this meal company. She sold it to me like this...
$8.00 for two two-person meals. That's $2 per person, per meal portion. You have to try it for that price. If you don't like it, you paid nothing for a bunch of groceries, and just cancel.
Well, I did try it. Because, the groceries I received definitely would have cost me more than $8, and it came straight to my door, so I saved time and effort.
It came in a "refrigerator" box; delivered by FedEx. Very cute. It was insulated and had an ice pack in it.
The idea is that if delivered while you are at work, it should last the whole day outside. Never tested that out since we were at home when it was delivered, but it seems like it could've lasted a while.
They have a bunch of options to choose from. I chose the Family Friendly food category, for 2 meals in a box, for 2 people portion sizes.
I chose a Taco Casserole and Firecracker Calliflower with Rice for my first box, and then paused the rest of my boxes.
A very handy feature allows you to pause your boxes. If you want to try the box out and skip the next week, to give you time to decide if it's worth it- you can.
You can make it so that you receive boxes weekly, biweekly, monthly, or on occasion by skipping whichever weeks you want.
The groceries inside the Taco Casserole bag were fresh. The green onion was the only exception, one green strand was a little wilted, but nothing major.
The Taco Casserole was great, and my daughter loved it too. The "two" people it fed was myself, 5 year old daughter and 8 month old son. We went through half of it between us for one meal, so it would be fair to say the portions seem generous.
Overall, I was very happy with the meal box. It saved time, and saved a trip to the store. It was refreshing to pick something out of my normal repertoire for supper.
If you'd like to try a meal box too, head over to Chef's Plate.

Christmas Pancakes
Tried something new with the kids. We made some Christmas pancakes. They absolutely loved them!
NaNoWriMo Update, Health
It's been an interesting month thus far, and it's not over yet.
Pains on and off, sent me to the hospital twice, and this last time they decided to take out my gallbladder.
Except, while I was in surgery, they found out my gallbladder had fused to my intestines, and ultimately didn't take out my gallbladder, yet. They spent the surgery time fixing the fused organs, and felt it was safer to let that heal first, before setting another date to remove the gallbladder.
Unfortunately, this means I'm off track for finishing up my first draft of 3S4, and it's likely going to take an extra month or two, depending on how the next surgery goes. All sorts of other things are delayed or put on the back burners for now.
For now, I'm thankful that things weren't worse off, and that the doctor was able to fix what she could. I'm on the mend, and healing up to handle the second surgery.
I'll try to keep things updated, work on the book, and see what else I can do over the next while here.

Rhubarb Recipe Suggestions Needed
It's an early growing season, with unseasonably warm temperatures, which means the rhubarb is ready early and is already bigger than normal.
My annual stockpile of pies, crisps, and jam isn't going to cut it this year. Google hasn't been helpful, so I am looking for suggestions on what to make with all the rhubarb.
If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!
Library Book Request
I applied for a Canadian government program, which gives money to authors based on how many of their books are in libraries across Canada.
But, I need your help
I currently don't know how many of my books are in libraries across Canada, but the more of my books in libraries, the better it is for the program.
I'm asking you to request your local library to carry my books. More specifically Three Souls or Brave Souls.
Libraries typically have quick forms (paper or online), for patrons to fill out and request books. You would just fill one out for one of my books, and submit it.
That's it!
Super easy, but it would help me out a bunch!
Thank you for considering helping me!

I recently interviewed with Ben Shepherd for his book recommendation website. Check out the post to see what books I recommend that bring magic and the supernatural to familiar worlds.
Tragic Backstories Belong to Heros, Villains, and Authors
I'm sorry, but with that level of tragic back story, you get to be the hero, the villain, or the author. You don't get a side character option.
A remake of my first viral video. Thanks for joining me! I appreciate all the support you've given me.

Chocolate Cake Design for Three Souls
I made chocolate chip and butterscotch chip, chocolate cakes with my kids. They made painted cakes using lemon extract plus food dye powder acting as edible paint. While I used edible gold glitter to create the Three Souls Series dragon and cerberus.
