***Thanks for the great response from last week's blog on my top 3 personal growth books. I hope if you read them they help you as much as they have helped me.  

Today is my top 3 fiction books.  They are truly fun to read and you’re sorry when they are over and wanting to read again!. 

The Zebra Network by Sean Flannery




This is an epic novel about a CIA agent being hunted by both the CIA and the KGB. Just when you thought you figured out where the plot was going…BOOM!! It twists and turns in an unexpected direction again and again! I couldn’t put it down. Great book to add to your summer reading list.



Exclusive by Sandra Brown






Although Sandra Brown is mostly known for her romance novels, she has penned some great thriller/mystery novels. My favorite is Exclusive. A reporter suspecting that it was foul play and not SIDS that caused the death of the President’s infant son, sets out to prove just that.  She comes across secrets, danger, and a Secret Service agent set on protecting the First family from her EXCLUSIVE. Another great summer read.




The Prey Series by John Sanford




The series follows Minneapolis, Minnesota Video Game designer and police detective Lucas Davenport as he hunts down the criminals and strives to do this without the politics from his superiors getting in his way. All the books are fast paced and will keep you on your toes. There are 26 Prey Books. Rules of Prey is the first book in the Prey series. It’s a great place to start! 

Enjoy your family, friends, and of course a good book.

Thanks!!

Fried chicken I've had many requests from friends and family for my fried chicken recipe.  On the rare occasions that we had left-overs, Smokin would bring some to work to share with his friends.  The guys would practically fight each other for some. The key to my fried chicken is bacon fat!! You don’t need a whole lot but you need enough to flavor the frying oil.  So as much as it may stink you’re going to have to cook up bacon to save the fat. (life’s tough all over ;) If you need help eating the bacon I can come on over)  Also, I use boneless skinless chicken breasts that I’ve cut into strips because I don’t like the dark meat. However, If you do like the dark meat then I suggest boneless chicken thighs (with or without the skin).   However, this is so good you'll never miss the skin.  Soak your chicken (about 3 pounds) for about 1-2 hours in buttermilk.  You can skip this part but it makes the chicken so tender and juicy. So just go for it! Time to

Hot Dogs!!! Everyone loves a good hotdog and everyone has their favorite way of topping a hotdog. I am going to give you our family's top 3. There really isn't a 'wrong' way to top your hotdog. It's all by personal preference BUT if you are looking to mix things up a bit here are a few  alternatives. Also, I want to add that a good, quality hot dog is key to having great flavor! The Classic Chili Cheese dog kicked up a notch ... Being from Southern California we love a little heat in our foods. So take your grilled hot dog and... Place thinly sliced jalapeño and finely chopped onion on the dog  Top with your favorite chili (my homemade chili is a favorite but we ate it already so canned it is).  Instead of shredded cheddar try shredded pepper jack.   Place under broiler for a couple minutes till cheese has melted. Keep a constant eye on it so the bun doesn't burn. This has so much flavor and a nice, spicy kick from the jal

Chicken Love Soup I love scooping the soup up with these chips! Is there anything better than a nice warm cup of soup?  I love soup on a cold winter day. Snuggled up on the couch, watching a good movie, and enjoying a delicious cup of soup is a bit of heaven of earth, in my opinion. Only thing that would make it more cozy is big fluffy snow flakes falling outside.   My foodie friend Robyn is the inspiration for this yummy warming soup. This is actually my all time favorite soup.  I have just tweaked it a little for my family, but I'll link her original recipe here... h ttp://housewifecooking.blogspot.com/2009/04/creamy-tortilla-soup.html Robyn's original recipe includes how she makes fresh tortilla strips.  I use the Garden of Eatin Red Hot Blue Corn Chips. Beware they are addicting.   Here's my spin on Chicken LOVE Soup... You will need... 3 Shallots, peeled and chopped 1 c Red Onion, diced 1 T. Vegetable Oil  4 15 oz.
