Busy! Busy! Busy! I’m preparing for this weekend big event with the Jorgenson YMCA in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I’ve almost got the taste testing list solidified (yes, there are still a few last minute decisions, I know, shocking!) and I’m waiting on one of the last table decorations to get here today! This process has been similar to preparing for a book event, but so much more involved! Assuring that banners, signage, and social media postings are done appropriate is a LOT of work! And of course, making sure that the treats I’m making for everyone are P E R F E C T. *wipes the sweat from my brow…* I’m excited to reveal the table décor on our Facebook page very soon!
Now for the serious…
And of course, this morning I had a message from a fellow self-publisher that I needed to check out immediately. The article was from another foodie blogger, who has been threatened with a lawsuit by a reader. Why, you ask? Because the nutrition information they posted wasn’t correct to the recipe the person made. Wow. I had to re-read it four times. You may be wondering if that’s even possible….it is. Unfortunately for people like me.
First, let me discuss nutrition labels. I like them, because it gives those paying close attention to calories and fat the numbers they need for their diets. Second, I like being able to show how my recipes fair in the “health” section. Third, I don’t like to be misleading with my recipes. So, I added nutrition labels in to the OH, Forks!! Cook book.
That said, those nutrition labels are for informational purposes only, and are not “scientifically correct.” Yes, I did use the great website to make them all, and many big companies and places use them, too. Yes, their numbers are correct for the brands, amounts, and products I used in my recipes. However, if you omit something, use a different amount, substitute or what have you…those numbers may change a little.
Being completely honest, I don’t pay much attention to calorie counts, fat counts, or the like. I didn’t add in my nutrition labels to claim “complete health and perfection” with any of my recipes.
I felt the need to post a permanent disclaimer on the nutrition label side of things, if for nothing else, my own protection. In the past few weeks, I’ve taken extra precautions to protect ALL of my work, which for this cook book means the labels, pictures, recipes, words and more. There are a group of people out there that just don’t have enough to do with their spare time, and have taken up stealing author’s work and reproducing it under their own names, profiting all the way. It’s disgusting, and I’m NO FAN of pirating sites, or this type of behavior.
I appreciate those who have stuck by me, supported me, and backed this entire cook book endeavor! I’m hoping it brings you happiness, as well, knowing the project you support is indeed making headway in the public, and has begun doing events!! 🙂

While the excitement and anticipation is steadily building, I’ve also been racking my brain trying to decide which foods to bring for everyone to sample! As with any event, there’s the standard needs of advertising and marketing…even some handouts! I’ve spent the past few weeks designing new “swag” items that I can hand out at this event! So far, I’ve designed some informational post cards, buttons, banners, bumper stickers, AND book marks! Still contemplating doing another round of recipe cards, with recipes NOT already included in the cook book!
Although I haven’t gotten my taste testing list one hundred percent finalized, I can tell you that I know one thing that will absolutely be there! My new Chocolate Avocado Dessert Bars! In all of my recipe creations, transformations, and flops- this one has to be one of my all-time favorites!! These frozen treats make the perfect paleo summer treat, and have NO added sugar! There are even a few slight alterations one could make to this one to personalize the recipe even more! I can’t wait to get more feedback on this one!
So, if you’re out and about in Fort Wayne on April 25, 2015… make sure one of your stops is at the Jorgenson YMCA! They’re having their Healthy Families week, and we’ll be holding down a table with plenty of copies of the OH, FORKS!! Cook book for sale! Certain proceeds from these book sales are going to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, and to the Scleroderma Foundation!!

It’s definitely been a bit since I’ve updated, and I apologize about that! January has proven to be a rough and tough month, and I’m hoping February will have the answers I’m desperately seeking! While I’m typing this, our area is under a Winter Weather Warning, due to the expected 14” of snow for us. Now, that’s nothing for the upper East, as they’ve just gotten over three FEET of snow…but people around here are panicking and buying milk, bread, and beer like the world’s shutting down!
And, of course, it’s SuperBowl weekend! Our team has gone through the ringer, for sure. Yes, we are Patriots fan. No, we’re not keen on the cheating scandal….but….as with all of the other scandals the NFL has had to face (ahem: rapists, murderers, dog murderers, other cheating QBs, and the like) we figure it’s all in game, in the grand scheme of things. Today, I read on someone’s Facebook page that “cheating was only bad if the team got caught, and since they got caught, they should be disqualified.” Hmph. Well, all that for ball air, in a game where the other team forgot to show up? And then the rapists keep playing? And the dog murderers come back like nothing happened, after a few monetary fees paid? I think not! Anyway, don’t tread on me about it…. It’s a game I watch for a few hours of entertainment, and then it’s over.
For our football festivities, we’ll be having a number of gluten free goodies! A few new recipes, I’m thinking, are in order, too!! Taquitos, Chocolaty Football Mix, Cheese-ball, and mini-sliders are just a few of the planned items on the menu! Who knows what all I’ll come up with!! Stay tuned for the blog on all the snacks we made!!

If you’ve tried a recipe, and something was missing or didn’t seem right, please send us a message! That said, remember that cooking gluten free is trickier than “normal” cooking, and until you’ve tested our recipes a time or two, things may not turn out perfectly! This sort of “issue” is NOT what we are referring to on this page!! However, you can message us cooking issues, too, and we’ll try to help!
*Mexican Wedding Cookie Balls, page 172: missing: note after -1 cup confectioners’ sugar (1/2 mixed into dough, ½ used to coat cookies after baking.)
*Cinnamon Rolls, page 29: missing: Step #8- For immediate cooking, allow to rise at room temperature for one to two hours. Bake at 325 degrees for 15-25 minutes, depending on your oven’s temperature. For cooking in the morning: After cutting dough, and covering with plastic wrap, put dough in refrigerator overnight. Allow to rise in 200 degree oven for at least one hour before baking.

We’re in 2015 now, which means this year we’ll be participating in our first book signings, taste testing, and local events around the area! If creating the recipes, designing the cook, formatting the layout, making the nutrition labels and working on images wasn’t hard enough… now I’ve got to decide which foods to make in mass for people to try at our events!!
For this, I’ve decided to not decide myself, and let my followers and cook book owners help me figure it out! You’ll find a Google Form attached in this blog update (that I will post on our Facebook page eventually, too) that you can fill out to help me with this process! Don’t worry- you’re not signing up for anything at all. Just helping me to choose which recipes to consider for my early 2015 events!
For the first form, I’d like to get an idea of what your favorite recipes in the cook book, on our Facebook page, or from our blog are. If you’ve tried something in the cook book you love, please enter that in this form. After I get a general idea of “favorites,” I’ll then send out one last form choosing the “winners.”
USE THIS LINK FOR OUR GOOGLE FORM! OR, check our Facebook page for the link!!
