Food Edition: Asian Grilled Salmon
This is one of our go-to salmon recipes. It’s easy and so good. I’ll marinate the salmon as it’s thawing all day in the sink. Or, marinate in the fridge for several hours.

Book Report: It Haunts the Mind
While I was reading Nick Roberts’ The Exorcist’s House books, I added It Haunts the Mind: and Other Stories to my reading list. And I’m so glad I did! I just really love the multiple short story format. Each chapter…
Book Report: She’s Not Sorry
Wow! Another great book from Mary Kubica, who wrote Local Woman Missing! She’s Not Sorry starts with a bang. Meghan is in the city shopping when she receives a call from a man who has her daughter, Sienna. Who is…

Book Report: The Housemaid’s Wedding
After the last book, I needed a palate cleanser. And The Housemaid’s Wedding was just perfect for that. I really like Freida McFadden and how she writes. I know it’s not for everyone, but she’s easy to read and still…
Book Report: Raised By A Killer
This one was tough. Raised by a Killer, by Sea Caummisar, is a set of 10 books, so it took me a lot longer to read. But it was also a tough one to read due to the abuse that…
Card Games, Soccer, and Summer Moments
School starts on August 14th, and just like that, summer is winding down. It went by fast—some days were long, but the season as a whole felt like a blink. We packed a lot into these few months, and I…
