Fluff and other stuff
Yes, I will admit that I can’t bake worth a crap. At least not scratch baking. If it’s out of box, I’m your girl. I finally figured it out when I couldn’t make
scratch biscuits. Yes, biscuits. I’m Southern, I live in Texas, and I should
be able to make a simple biscuit but not me.
They come out looking like little hockey pucks. I cried on Friday when they came out of the
oven. My husband was very diplomatic
about it but still…they were hockey pucks.
*sigh* It’s very depressing.
Now on the other hand I can cook up a storm. My mother was a gourmet cook so cooking from
scratch is very easy to me. I can look
at my pantry and come up with some wonderful meals for our family. No embarrassing mishaps, just good foods that
even our son will eat. So without
further ado here are my two recipes.
Enjoy!
Fluff
1 carton of Cool Whip
1 box of Jell-O (do not make)
1 can of fruit, drained (I use fruit cocktail so I can eat
all of the cherries. He he!)
1 8 oz. container of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese,
rinsed
1 bag of small marshmallows
Pecans, if you like nuts
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Yes, just dump the Jell-O in there. It’s for color. Make sure that it has mixed well. Chill in refrigerator for a couple of hours
or overnight.
That’s it. Fluff!
Meatloaf
2 lbs Ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons Ketchup
2 large eggs
1 slice of bread
1 teaspoon of salt
¾ teaspoon of pepper
GLAZE (can be omitted)
¼ cup Ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons of Light Brown Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Lightly spray a 9 X 5 loaf pan.
Press ingredients into the pan.
Bake for 30 minutes. If you are
using the glaze, take the pan out of the oven after 30 minutes and put glaze
on. Bake another 30 minutes. Check meat temperature and you are done.
Again, the Glaze is optional but always taste it before
putting it on. I make adjustments every
time when I make this. Enjoy!
The Couple
by
Harlie Williams
A Contemporary Romance
Blurb:
A woman has one thing on
her mind tonight…sex. Dirty, sweaty, kinky sex with a cowboy. With her man gone
more than he is at home, she needs the release.
After being away for two weeks, a cowboy goes looking for someone
to play with for the night. Being away is part of the job but not having
someone to come home to is hurting his soul. Feeling disconnected in his love
life, the red head will be perfect.
Once they meet, can one night of pure passion led to more than
just a one night stand for either of them? Communication is the key to every
relationship. Can these two find a way to connect emotionally or are they
destined for heartache.

Excerpt (PG-13 for language)
“What’s
a girl like you doing at a bar like this?” he asked.
Her
voice was a purr, like a cat well satisfied with its stolen pitcher of cream.
“I’m looking for someone special.”
Hoping
that she meant him he asked, “Did you find him yet?”
“Maybe.”
The glint in her eye told him he was definitely in the running. However, I’m not looking to hook up with just
any old cowboy. He must be able to go
the full eight seconds and come back for more.”
She eyed him from head to toe. “Think
you can handle that?”
Oh, I can most definitely handle you
sweetheart.
Not
wanting to seem too eager he replied, “I’m not sure but I’m willing to try.”
“Do
or do not. There is no try.” He struggled not to let his grin escape. The fact that she was trying to seduce him
made his dick twitch.
“Let’s
just say I’m looking to burn off some pent up frustration. A little excess
energy. And I’ve got plenty to burn.”
The
way she shivered at his words, he knew he almost had her. He winked as she licked her crimson lips and
blew out a small breath. Damn what this woman is doing to him.
He
pushed her knees apart with his left leg and was rewarded with the amazing
scent of her arousal. The knowledge she
was wet for him had him close to going off in his jeans.
Houston, we have lift-off!
“Why
don’t you have a seat cowboy and we’ll talk about it.”
She
gasped when he shocked her with a brush of his lips against hers; fighting with
everything he had not to deepen the kiss.
Patience, patience.
He
would play her game for the moment but sooner or later, she would be his. Tied up and begging for more.
He
asked her, “Now about that eight second ride?”
Author Bio:
When she is not trying to be Super
Blogger and reviewing for her own site, Harlie is a stay at home mom with a 3rd
grade son that keeps her busy with all of his stuff. Married for 9 years to her own hero and still
madly in love with him, she wouldn’t change a thing about her life. Okay, maybe living in Ireland or New Zealand
but those are just pipe dreams.
A certifiable sports nut, she craves
college football (OU Sooners and Texas A&M Aggies), Baseball (Texas Rangers
and Houston Astros), Dallas Stars hockey and Houston Texans football. After working for the Dallas Stars Hockey
Club for 5 years and naming her son after Brian Leetch you’d think she write a
hockey story. Nope, been there, done
that and the t-shirt is a rag. She
prefers just to watch the game now. Less
stress.
Harlie loves to hear from readers
and other authors. You can find her on
Facebook most days. Unless, she’s
sitting in the carpool line. The bane of
her existence.
