Powwow Sundae

A friend brought me a gift that I will always cherish. While going through the books at a Goodwill store she ran across a Better Homes and Garden – New Cook Book – Souvenir Edition. It’s dated 6th print 1965. The recipes are wonderful! Here is one that fits right into the cookout season that I want to share. It’s called a: Powwow Sundae String ¼ lb. marshmallows on skewers. Toast over coals till melty inside and well-browned outside. Scoot off skewers into 1 cup canned chocolate syrup. Stir just to marble, then ladle over big scoops of vanilla ice cream. Makes 1 ½ cups of sauce. Now doesn’t that sound tasty and refreshing for summer cookouts?

Contest

I’ve decided to have a contest. Tomorrow I’m mailing out 5 copies of my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat. Sunday I’ll be at a 1 day festival in Mint Hill, NC doing a book signing for Stir, Laugh, Repeat. This is how the contest will work. The person that buys book #25 will receive a $25.00 bonus. It will be the winner’s choice. You can take $25.00 in cash or $25.00 in an Amazon gift card. Now think about it. I’m already up to book #5. That leaves 20 more books to sell. I have the festival coming up so that will cut the numbers down even more. Plus, I’m selling the books for $12.00 which will also include shipping. If you want to learn more about Stir, Laugh, Repeat click on Stir, Laugh, Repeat The Cookbook in the right sidebar. If you want to order a copy send me an email at marthacheves@bellsouth.net and we will exchange addresses. Remember, the holidays are coming up and Stir, Laugh, Repeat makes a great Christmas gift. And the only way to get an autographed copy is by ordering directly through me. Also, if you need more than 1 copy, each book counts in the countdown to #25.

Classic Cream of Chicken (Steak) Soup Entry

Twice a year, Border’s Books has a teacher appreciation weekend. Everything in the store is 25% off. I bought a couple of cookbooks, the kids picked out books, and we bought a couple of DVDs. It is an event that we look forward to. I love that my boys like to read and like to go shopping for books. They had stacks and stacks of cookbooks, all on sale. It was a cook’s dream. I bought three cookbooks – all hardback and all under 10.00. One of the books was all about soups. I decided to make a cream of chicken soup, but I used leftover steak instead. It turned out well and we had some leftover for the next night. I know that it has been a while since I have done a soup entry, but here it is! A yummy heartwarming soup that will be enjoyed by the entire family.

As most of you already know, I write cookbooks but I also read and do reviews for Authors. I’m in the process of starting up a new blog that will combine the two.

I hope you will all check out this site, find a new book to read and a new dish to cook.
