Book Review: The Girl Before by JP Delaney
**ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for honest review** The Girl Before is a thought-provoking psychological thriller with a whisper of techno-sci-fi. It's tempting to compare it with other books with "Girl" in the title, but if anything, it's more like Girl on the Train meets Black Mirror. The book's deliciously…

Chicken Tagine with Chickpeas

Fair warning, this is not Colleen Hoover’s usual MO.  This book is dark and graphic — drugs, mental illness, abuse, murder…

Quinoa Black Bean Burgers
With 12 days to go until Christmas, there's no sign of the treat train letting up. It's one of the benefits to working from home,  no break room donuts or cookies or cake to tempt you. Of course, when you yourself go to See's Candy to pick up a few pieces, because it's Christmastime and…

Nantucket Cranberry Pie – It’s Really a Cake
During the holidays, Trader Joe's is a minefield of treats, from Peppermint Joe Joe's to chocolate advent calendars to Jingle Jangle candy-pretzel mix. You almost have to put on blinders to avoid filling your basket.  In the frozen section, I stumbled on Nantucket Cranberry Pie, which looked a bit like upside down cake (theirs had…
