Hi, I am Othel Graham, owner of BestSweetPotatoes, located in Dacula, GA, 23 miles Northwest of Atlanta, GA. I have been cooking with sweet potatoes for over 23 years, and after encouragement from family, friends and neighbors, I opened up BestSweetPotatoes in August, 2016, and have received rave reviews from our customers.
My Mission
I realized, "Passion is contagious!"
I am so passionate about the sweet potato which is why I made it my goal to learn and to respect the sweet potato. I've stepped it up a notch by baking the old and traditional way with sweet potatoes, and all my products are sweet potato based; my sweet potato pies, muffins, cakes, soufflés, cornbread's, and more, including the sweet potato mixture in a jar, but we call it Sweet Potato Pie in a jar which can be used for any recipe which requires sweet potatoes. I love my products, and the sweet potato effected the "why" I was doing this.
I started a brand, and my pies happen to be the blue-chip of BestSweetPotatoes. The spirit of those sweet potato pies was the major factor in helping me expand the use of sweet potatoes in my other products. And, because I am so passionate about wanting to do everything from scratch, I am working on my own brand of pie crusts.
You don't have to be a food expert to appreciate my products, but I guarantee that first bite will have you hooked. You will not be able to walk away.
And after tasting my products, you will want BestSweetPotatoes to be a success.

Not all couples choose to get married in the spring and summer months even though they are the most popular. Winter is a beautiful time of year to get married, there are plenty of wedding ideas for winter that can be used to bring warmth and joy to the cold climate. Winter weddings can appear to be straight out of a fantasy, with the snow and ice as a backdrop. If you are planning to have your own winter wedding, take a look at some of the themes and ideas below. Turn the happiest day of your life into something truly magical.
All White Wedding Theme
The color that is most representative of the winter season is without a doubt white. An all white wedding theme means incorporating the color white into everything. The wedding invitations, flowers, groomsmen attire, bridesmaids and flower girl dresses, and last but not least the decoration for both the ceremony and reception. It's not likely the wedding will take place outdoors during this time of year, but that doesn't mean you can't bring the beauty of the season inside. Decorate the place with snow flakes, ice, and other novelty items that represents the best that the season has to offer. You can use crystals as part of your decor to substitute actual snow. The natural sparkle that is produced by crystals will give the entire room an added touch of elegance.

HyperBlue Laser for Fungal Toenails
Advanced Foot Care's Hyper Blue 1530 Laser will get rid of your Nail Fungus without having to take oral medication or time consuming topicals. With only 3-4 twenty minute treatments, depending on the severity of the infection, your toes will be sandal ready. The Laser uses wavelengths that will penetrate the nail and eliminate the destructive fungus that was causing the infection and leaves the nail revitalized as it grows out.
The procedure requires quick treatments with little or no discomfort and is performed as an outpatient service with no anesthesia. The gentle laser light beam has no effect on healthy tissue and treats only the infected area of the toe.
Benefits of HyperBlue Laser
- Safe, painless treatment
- No side effects or drugs
- No liver enzyme test required
- No recovery time, just walk in and walk out
- Only 20 minutes required to treat toe nails on both feet
How does the laser work?
The laser light causes a temporary increase in clear nails, the laser light passes through the toe nail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. At the time of the procedure, the toe nail will not become instantly clear, it takes time to grow out.
What can I expect in the office?
After a consultation with your provider, the procedure will be performed monthly for 3-4 months. After treatment has been completed, you will return for quarterly reassessment visits.
Is the procedure painful?
Most people feel no pain. Most people feel a warming sensation.
Is there a recovery period?
No. Just walk in and walk out.
How long does the procedure take?
The laser procedure takes less than 20 minutes.
Will the fungus come back?
Your provider will recommend care techniques to reduce recurrence of the infection. As with all antifungal treatments, there is a chance of reinfection because the fungus is present everywhere in the environment. Preventative maintenance treatments are also recommended.
When can I paint my nails or have a pedicure?
You can apply polish immediately after the treatment. It is important to remove all nail polish and nail decorations the day before your treatment.
How do I pay for the treatment?
Major credit cards, checks and cash are all accepted. You may also use your Medical IRA, Health Savings or Flexible Spending Account.
Is this covered by my insurance?
If you have a Health Savings Account or Medical IRA, 100% of the cost can be covered. However, this procedure is considered aesthetic and therefore health insurance plans do not provide coverage. The quarterly reassessment visits are billed to insurance.
Is it FDA cleared?
Yes, it is FDA cleared for the temporary increase of clear nail in patients with Onychomycosis.

Between the Barriers or Reality opens Days of Delirium and Nocturnal NightMares with a beautiful line of synth which sways lazily in an oniric Milky Way. A synth à la Pink Floyd on Wish You Where Here that stretches its line in a stellar constellation stuffed with sound shooting stars. A heavy reverberation puts an end to this cosmic reverie and introduces a weak sequential beat which pulses with energy under the foggy breaths of a suave mellotron pleasant and jingles of electronic cymbals. Another sequential line hems with feverishness, filling the rhythm of Between the Barriers or Reality with voluminous subdivided pulsations which pound as a heavy bass beneath a sound sky stuffed with sinuous synth solos. Up to here Between the Barriers or Reality flows as a sulfurous space rock, but at the 5:20 minutes spot the rhythm explodes with Frank Dorittke's heavy guitar solos and Harold van der Heijden's robust percussions which roll and hammer a hybrid structure as Klaus Schulze and Harald Grosskopf knew so much how to do it. Solos are shrill and run in loops beneath a cadence which waves with heaviness, merging marvelously the electronic and progressive art where solos of synth and guitars are entangling in an almighty musical fight. As in the finale of Daylight in a Nocturnal Scarescape which starts with fine waves of synth undulating with prismatic chords which sparkle in a cosmic oblivion. A brief intro before that Daylight in a Nocturnal Scarescape rolls on minimalism arpeggios which skip nervously. Arpeggios which sparkle and hiccup beneath deaf percussions surrounded of a syncopated line. The rhythm swirling on a circular movement, fed by stroboscopic hoops, Daylight in a Nocturnal Scarescape unravels among smooth and musical synth solos which remind nostalgias of Vangelis. Warmth solos which are bumping on robust incisive orchestrations, howls of madden choirs and unbridled percussions, propelling the second portion of Daylight in a Nocturnal Scarescape towards a more rock approach with heavy guitar solos which fly over a rhythmic with frenzied chords and sequences. Chords and sequences on boosted rolling movements by their feverish echoes, joining drum strikes which pound an undisciplined pace by the effects of dramatic tearing from brief orchestral strata. Prophecies of a Pagan is leading us into the dark corridors of Days of Delirium and Nocturnal NightMares with a foggy somber intro where weak and low pulsations of machineries resound around a lugubrious mephistophelic voice. A strange incantatrice and atmospheric intro that takes a kind of musical life with random strikes of a furious drum, strata of a roaring guitar and solos of a mellotron synth. An odd sonorous amalgam filled with duality, as melodious as atmospheric, which stagnates in a cosmic musical broth from where deaf and heavy pulsations of a bass line mold a cadence that goes in growing. Delicate arpeggios, à la Tangerine Dream on Tangram, emerge out of this intense sonorous magma where hatched guitar strata shape a cruel caustic world, but where warm synth solos bring a bit of musicality, depicting both paradoxes in Prophecies of a Pagan.Sandman's Journey Through Sanity stays the course of the musical duality undertaken on Prophecies of a Pagan. We can hear there a synth line whistling a soft melody which will obsess us throughout the evolution of this track that seems to come out of Frank D Project territories with its slow minimalist tempo à la Mike Oldfield. Solitary guitar notes are mislaying there among percussions bursts, sinuous reverberations and chords which deeply collide, vestige of an untidy sequential universe recalling Rainbow Serpent's. A fine sequence, more minimalism, pulses a light cadence which clear among limpid chords, molding more and more this soft and innocent synth line. Synth solos fuse, whereas Heijden's drum rolls and hammers a more sustained cadence. And quietly, Sandman's Journey Through Sanity goes out of its hypnotic torpor to embrace a rhythmic divided by the drum strikes and a sequence which is more and more livened up. A synth spits heavy symphonic strata, leading the way to a rhythmic that bites to full teeth with incisive guitar solos and delightful synth solos which wrap this innocent and frail melody that came out from somber galactic caves of its intro. A very strong track because very different from what Days of Delirium and Nocturnal NightMares presents. Drowse at Dawn and Fearful Awakening are two tracks linked together but which have totally paradoxical universes. Drowse at Dawn evolves all in softness on a mesmerizing minimalist structure. Delicate arpeggios skip there, forming a cadence which finds its nervousness on the multiplicity of the chords skipping in loops. A fine minimalist and hypnotic sequential movement which flows as a prismatic stream beneath a sky shaded by a synth at once foggy and spectral which frees nebulous gas. The movement increases with the addition of finely hatched percussions and pulsations which mold a hypnotic pace where keyboard keys stroll with a jazzy approach. Skipping on a discreetly syncopated line, Drowse at Dawn sings under a sky covered by syncretic solos of a languishing synth and a foggy mellotron. A track which reminds me a bit the universe of The Who on Who Next and which continues its progression towards the stormy Fearful Awakening where heavy and almighty solos of guitars as well as crazy percussions burst out around robust solos of synth, bringing Days of Delirium and Nocturnal NightMares towards a finale which he couldn't avoid. A finale models after this striking album which got to be the best in 2010. To say the least of what I heard until now. And this is Chapter One…I just can't wait to hear Chapter II!

I Wrote Something!
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
Kidding aside, I've finally found motivation to write. I've been plagued with ideas for stories based my Mist world and finally found the means to make it happed – The Magic Spreadsheet. It works similar to something I used several years ago, except now a lot of people can see it and I feel compelled to at least make my minimum word count (250 at the moment).
It works. I've written everyday for the last week and a half, so far totally right at 13k words. Good times.
I'm going to keep at it. I'm ready to get back into writing regularly. Even if its only 250 words a day, it beats the 0 I've been doing for a while now.
Tools of the Trade
Yesterday morning I started writing a story. I know, a freaking miracle. However, about a page in I realized that this was a fine time to get Scrivener installed and learn how to use it properly. So I download it, install it, and start working through the tutorial. Hours later (spread over the course of a day, finally finishing this morning), I was drowning in way too many features and way too much information. How much writing did I get finished during this time?
Absolutely none.
However, once I completed the tutorial I felt I was ready to start getting into the story. I start a new project and get ready to write. I look in the binder and I am immediately awash in a load of pre-generated text, folders, and sample material. WTF?
How about just starting with the basic structure of a Scrivener project and letting me populate with MY material? I don't need your sample material, and for a beginner with the program, we may not exactly be comfortable with editing the composition of a template. I know I'm not.
I could take the time to figure out Scrivener, and I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who will quickly deride my post here and tell me I'm a tool bag for bad mouthing such a fine program. I will make it clear here, right now – I'm not putting the program down. I just don't think it's the program for me given the time I have (or lack thereof).
And I'm still not getting any writing done.
Of course, I'm writing this right now, so I guess there's that. 🙂
So I shut the damn thing down, reopened my original document from yesterday (in Open Office Writer, a fine program with very little screen clutter to get in the way), and get back to work.
Keep It Simple, Stupid.
I know a lot of writers out there swear by Scrivener. But then again, there are a lot of products out there that writers use daily that they feel is the best thing since the invention of paper. There are a lot of tools out there for writers to get their ideas onto a page. Many are just there to catch the writer and to get them to fork over decent money for something that, at the end of the day, is just an over-glorified word processor.
Seen the commercial on TV for Dragon Naturally Speaking? Where they try to convince you that writers can benefit from the program? The "writer" they use for the commercial is rather lackluster in writing skill. Maybe she's just a bit melancholy…
So far I've managed to write, edit, format, and submit all of my stories using Open Office and Microsoft Office. Those are my tools. I may occasionally feed a manuscript to an analyzer to see if I'm using certain words too often, but really, I don't need much else.
Some writers may still find my needs too much. Those folks write longhand, with a pen and a piece of paper. *shudder*
Let me get back to my story. It's not going to write itself. Wait, I bet there's a writer's tool out there for that, too…
The Submissions Grinder
Listed over there on the left is probably one of the best sites I've ever found on the internet that helped the writer. It's Duotrope's Digest. It was a fantastic resource as it listed tons and tons of markets for writers, helping them find a home for that story about the hermaphroditic Sasquatch that no one else wants. They were free and their data was extremely useful. They took donations on a "pay as you like" basis. I donated the proceeds from several stories, because, well, they helped me get stories into home.
Well, starting on 2013, they now charge a fee. A pretty steep fee, too. $50 a year, or you can pay $5 a month. You can imagine the outcry from people who merely felt they were entitled to free stuff and now they would have to pay for it. After that storm blew over, the real users of the site came out and started bringing out the real facts – the stats will now suffer because only those that pay for the service will now log their stats. Very true. Also, usually writers don't have a lot of disposable cash to pay for something like that. I know I have $50 to spend on it, but I have other things that I need more than a subscription to a site that I can use a spreadsheet and Writer's Market from Barnes & Noble.
I won't get into the good or bad of Duotrope going to a pay model. I don't care, as I will not pay for that and if you want to, please, do so.
Enter the awesome David Steffen from Diabolical Plots.
I won't go on about this, but I will direct you to the article, and information about their attempt to create a (free) replacement for Duotrope – The Submission Grinder.
Good Start to 2013…
I received an email this morning informing me that I had been paid for my story "Terminal," and that the anthology containing it, Dark Stars, was out on Amazon today. I happily took my hard earned loot and headed over to Amazon to check it out.
You should too, just click on the picture…
Hmmm. My name seems to be missing a letter on the cover. How vexing. However, it's spelled correctly inside the book at the story as well as in the author bio at the end. It's also spelled correctly on the Amazon listing. *shrug* Irritating, but nothing to get too worked up over.
And no, I didn't see the cover before release.
Anyway, it's only $3 for your Kindle, so why not? 🙂
So long 2012.
I can't complain too much. I have a good job and a wonderful family. In these times, these are the thing everyone wants. I don't need piles of cash or a fancy car (though it would be nice!).
But, I miss something dearly – writing.
I spent all of 2012 working my butt off. I have a job that is demanding and stressful, but yet at the same time I find it to be very satisfying and fulfilling. Not many people can say that. However, it has taken up all of my time that isn't filled with my family. My free time is relegated to time in front of the TV after my son has gone to bed. Lately it has been spent playing Rocksmith or in the last week, Assassin's Creed III.
The urge to write is there, though. And lately, it has been making it's presence felt.
I have a document with story ideas in it. Over the last couple of weeks, I've added about three pages to it. Each idea is anywhere between a sentence and a paragraph, but enough to help me work with it. The real key to that document isn't the individual story ideas. It's the possibility that those ideas can be combined into a totally off the wall idea that will make an awesome story. I have read many times in the past that writer's best ideas didn't come from the idea they had in the middle of the night, but rather when they merged it with an idea they came up with two years previous.
But I'm out of practice. And I hope that 2013 will allow me to get back into things. So, I have decided that there are some things I need to do to make that happen –
- Eliminate as many sources of negativity as I can. That includes cutting back my own innate negativity. I'm a pessimist, despite my best efforts to be otherwise.
- Manage my stress with exercise. My stress isn't intolerable, but I feel it does limit my desire to do things and holds me back. So, I will make an honest effort to exercise and get my stress manageable. Oh yeah, it will make me healthier, too. 🙂
- Eat better. This goes in with the exercise. I really need to stop plowing through a Zaxby's Nibblerz Meal with fries and a Diet Coke. I know, the diet drink makes it healthy, but it can't do it all on its own. (I've always joked that I can eat whatever I want as long as I had a diet drink with it, as that made it healthy)
- Read more.
So, if I can accomplish these things, I can get back into the writing mindset. The words are there, and as my friend Dario likes to say, they will come in time. I feel I need to help them along if I ever want them to come forth.
And these aren't resolutions, as I feel people make them with full intentions of breaking them. I'm merely setting goals, that I can meet at any time, be it in 2013 or beyond.
How things change
About a month ago, I pulled Mist out of the office and started reading it. In case you don't know, Mist is the novel I wrote a few years back. So large I broke it into three parts, because each item by itself would be the length of a novel. Well, I was ready to get to work on it. I think I read about two chapters in it (and damn, they need some work). Then, something else stepped in my path.
As you know, I'm the Assistant Managing Editor at Tangent Online, a fairly large and well known short fiction review site. I haven't done much with the position since earning it last year, aside from maintaining it's Facebook and Twitter accounts. Well, the Managing Editor ran into a rough patch, and needed me to take over for a while. So I've been learning that, in addition to various other personal life items that just kept me busy in the evenings.
Oh yeah, there's also Diablo 3, but that's another story.
Anyway, I've nearly gotten my hands around this editor thing, which is pretty demanding work when I have work to do. I have a new appreciation for what solo editors have to do to keep things floating, I can say that for certain!
So I just keep on moving. I haven't written much in well over a year, aside from some gaming material for personal use. I have a lot of ideas flowing and lately the itch to sit down and write something has started to grow. I think here in a few months, once I get past a few other hurdles, I will be ready to get back into the writing game. At the moment, I have noting even to send out to publishers, and I really need to correct that! I have a ton of finished stories.
Well, finished as in the first draft is done. Which means I have about 6 or 7 more revisions of each one before they are ready for sending out to people for consideration.
Mist looms, as well. It's time to get it right, and get it out into the world. I just need to get this next review posted to Tangent…
Have $12 burning a hole in your pocket?
Well, you should. I mean, how else will you buy this?

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
It looks like Omarion got a taste of his own medicine. After the singer pulled out of his appearance at a press conference in Namibia at the last moment, his fans decided to hit back by boycotting his concert that was held in addition to the event.
Omarion was supposed to appear at the press conference prior to hitting the stage as part of his agreement. But due to a long flight, the singer backed out of the conference portion, citing exhaustion as the reason for the no-show.
Coincidentally, Omarion was able to regain his strength to show up to the concert. He was one of the only ones to attend though. Baller Alert posted photos from the event, showing a practically empty venue with around 20 people in attendance. Later in the night, Omarion captured the concert in a video on social media, showing a little more people. In the video, fans were seen screaming as they crowded around the stage. "As long as you had a good time," he captioned the video.
While Omarion doesn't have any new music out at the moment, the singer was in talks of appearing on a reunion tour with his former group, B2K. But those dreams quickly came crashing down when Lil Fizz announced that Omarion hadn't returned any of his calls regarding the idea.
Check out the footage from his empty concert in Namibia below.
Omarion Performs For Empty Crowd After Fans Boycott His Show –blogged by @MsJennyb ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just weeks after #LilFizz told "Love and Hip Hop Hollywood" fans and cast members that #Omarion refused to return his calls concerning a B2K reunion, the lead singer of the former group was hit with some humble pie during an appearance in Namibia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ According to reports, the singer was asked to sit in on a press conference prior to his concert as part of an agreement for the show. However, after a long flight, he pulled out of the press conference. Although Omarion's manager claimed the singer was too exhausted to participate, fans were not amused. In fact, many fans felt "disrespected" by Omarion's "no-show" and decided to take matters into their own hands and boycott his show. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Omarion was then forced to perform to an empty stadium at The Independent Stadium in Windhoek on Friday. However, a handful of people did show up to see the show. The singer even posted his own video from the concert with the caption: "As long as you had a good time."

"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Here are all the artists who posted tributes to the late R&B singer.

What kept My Mind Off the Cold: January, February, & March Rap Wrap-Up
Hey bookworms! I know I haven't posted in a bit, but it's been a bit busy lately. I know I wanted to try and do month, but winter was busy for me with my Birthday trip and all the overtime it took to save. But, anywho, you're here for the books not to hear me whine, so let's get started!
January Reads
1. The Rose Society by Marie Lu
So for those of you who have seen my signature, will know I had to pick up this sequel due to the cover. I mean can you blame me. I wish I could say I felt the same for the story that I did the cover. Although I love the idea of this series because it sings to my X-Men loving heart. It is like a retelling of it in a way at least to my mind. Adelina reminds me of a friend that really hurt me last year, and I can't help but want this character to be redeemed. Magiano was the one that kept me reading. I gave the book a 2.8 out of 5 stars.
2. Dumplin' By Julie Murphy
I gave this book a 3 out of 5 stars. I related to the mother-daughter relationship. In the way the mother assumes she is helpin g the daughter with her opinions that maybe ended a bit blunt and sometimes hurtful without meaning to. The female friendships made me so happy because I feel so many stories are lacking friendships lately. Friendships are starting to become minor points in stories and I don't want to think they are becoming minor points life as well.
3. Nothing by Annie Barrow
I gave this a 2.8 stars although it was a cute coming of age of age it really irked me the names these girls called each other. It wasn't okay.
4. Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
I gave this one 3.3 stars. I loved the idea of the characters having personalities outside of the ones that were written for them in their story. The romance felt a bit lacking for me, but the story stuff rang true to me. Especially the part where the author said she heard the character's voices in her head. As a writer myself that is my favorite sound and I miss that the most.
6. Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen
4 stars! This book reminded me of everything about Dessen's writing that made me feel less alone when I was younger. It reminded me that I wasn't alone with the problems I faced. That other people faced them too. This book was like comfort food in her writing style if that makes sense.
6. Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray
This book got 4 stars from me only because of that cliff hanger! I was ready for this series to be over, but I do how much that I greatly care for these characters so I'm not too angry about getting to see more of their stories.
7. Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien
I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. For a dystopian book I still don't know what to think of it but it had some really good action parts that kept my attention.
1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
3 stars I like the writing process and Cath's professor's advice, but I feel this would've made more of an impact on me if I read this 4-5 years ago. It did make me miss writing fanfiction and just writing in general. Maybe one day I will feel the pull again.
2. Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shecter
I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars there was a bit of lag in some parts, but this book reminded me why historical fiction and royalty pulled me in when I was younger. I am hoping this means it has reignited my craving.
3. Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
This book was a 4 out of 5 stars for me it was really good to hear about mental health especially a disorder you don't hear much about. This story really put you in the main character's head and shoes. It made you experience her feelings and struggles in such a vivid way.
4. Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire
This shows how horrible of a bookworm I am. I loved the first book and didn't even know that the next two books were out. I loved learning about the twins and the LGBTQ elements in these books and the backstory and magical realism mixed with the fantasy is my favorite thing ever. It was an amazingly good short devour and I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars and now I need to own these books!
5. Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire
After finishing the last book and knowing the third was already out. I had to buy the third audio book for myself and it did not disappoint. The world building is AMAZING! 5 out of 5 stars!
6. Marked by PC and Kristin Cast
4 out of 5 stars because sometimes a reread is all the comfort and happiness you need in the world.
7. One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake
I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. It would have been 5 out of 5 but there were some parts that lost my attention due to lag, but it has all the things to keep me picking up a book. I can't wait to see what happens at the end.
8. Uglies by Scott Westerfield
I have this a 3 out of 5 stars. I think I would've enjoyed this more in my teens when I was into dystopian but I only read it on a rare occasions now. It was an interesting twist on conformity though.
9. Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
I know I've been reading a lot of contemporary, but it's not my favorite genre truly. I will admit it is easy to read though. For not loving Contemporary I found I love Sophie Kinsella. Her humor and her books always make me laugh. 3 out of 5 stars.
10. City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong
I started this book last December but didn't get to finish it before my turn was up at the library. Let me tell you these plot twists definitely made it worth the wait! 5 out of 5 stars!
My favorite month of the whole year! My birthday month! These are the books that helped me get to and celebrate 26!
1. Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys
When I say I don't like contemporary that of course excludes Historical Fiction. I know I am so odd, but historical fiction has always been one of my deepest loves for as long as I can remember. This book was such a great reminder of that. I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars.
2. Unbecoming by Jenny Downham
This was one of my random picks for the month and I pretty much went in blind because to be honest I think I skimmed the summary. This is a great example of the when going in blind works out great. The story telling and the three perspectives were great for world building and was enough to have flash backs. It was perfect to fill all my fictional cravings when I picked it up. 4 out of 5 stars.
3. NTR – Netsuzou Trap Vol. 1 by Naoko Kodama, Catherine Ross (Translator), Shannon Fay (Adaptation), CK Russell (Lettering)
This yuri was a little disappointing because it felt Hotaru was too forceful on Yuma. If she was just honest I feel this was honest, maybe even a bit more seductive this would've been so much better. I gave this one a 2 out of 5 stars. I might try and see if it's available at the library instead of picking up and buying the next copy.
4. Citrus Vol 7 by Saburo Uta
Although Mei's and Yuzu's love did have a forcefulness in the beginning you could tell the underlying feelings were there. I fell behind on this series, but then I remembered it was becoming an anime! So I needed to devour what was out to hype myself up and I was disappointed by neither the adaption or this volume. I gave this one a 4 out of 5 stars.
5. Midnight Jewel by Richelle Mead
Although there was some parts of this book I didn't like like pretty much retelling the first book… The romance in this one though was hot, and I like the couples with conflict. That argue that does not fall easy are my favorites. They are the more realistic to me and draw me in too easily. 4 out of 5 stars for just the romance alone! Don't judge me she writes good friction and tension!
6. Bloom into You, Vol. 1 by Nakatani Nio
I loved the idea of this manga that love can grow. It doesn't have to be hot it can be slow and patient. It was so sweet I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars.
7. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin
This was a 2.8 stars for me because how fickle Naomi became kinda irked me and ruined the good parts for me.
8. Far from the Tree by Robin Benway
The tagline got me guys! "For fans of This is Us" which is my mom and my favorite show and it was not a disappointment. The bond between the siblings was so sweet and true. It also hit on adoption which I feel isn't a topic covered by many books. 4 out of 5 stars.
Well guys that what I read this winter! I am so sorry this took forever to post! I am trying to get better I promise. Have you read any of these? Feel free to let me know in the comments below because I really do miss you all. Have a wonderful week and most importantly Happy Reading!
Friday Reads: Books to accompany me on a Long Weekend
Hey Bookworms! Sorry for being MIA after my streak of posting. It wasn't by choice I had a schedule change at work that had me working 10 days in a row! I dunno how I am alive right now honestly … Continue reading
Top Ten Tuesday: The Books that Got Away in 2017 that I'm determined to get to in 2018!
Hey Bookworms! Lets keep my Resolutions on a roll by posting a Top Ten Tuesday post which I haven't done in forever, but this one is more of a goals list, so I thought why not? For those of you … Continue reading
Resolutions for 2018: For Blogging, Reading, Writing, and Life!
Hey bookworms! I know this may be a little early to write this as at this moment it's only the 10th of December, but that's what scheduling posts are for right? And if my ideas change I can edit before this goes live. Once it goes live, I have to commit, right? Well at least try my best to. I really want to get back into the community and get the hand of scheduling posts again, so this will be good practice! Anywho before this intro gets too off track, or reveals the resolutions before I get a chance to jot them in some semblance of order, lets get started!
As you guys can tell, 2017 was a little hectic and I've been more than a little absent, and too be honest I miss the community and support I've had from you in my life's many ups and downs, both on here and through twitter. I want to come back to the community who kept me going for so long. So here are my goals to bring me back to you!
1. Post at least 2-3 times a month!
I know at this moment it seems impossible, and I'd be okay and not guilt myself if I'd only post once.
2. Write 4 Book Reviews
I know I've said I'd write more reviews before, but I really want to not only to become more brave, but to turn my analytical, creative, and critical thinking (basically the English Major) part (s) of my brain back on. The monotony of work is starting to make me feel dull.
3. Scheduling is key!
I want to to utilize the scheduling tool on here to post more, to take some of the stress and confusion of what to post. I think it will also force me to write my ideas down and not give up on them so easily.
4. Comment on More Blogs
Being apart of the community again doesn't mean just sharing my voice it also means hearing so many of your great voices and thoughts.
5. Share More of My Media Thoughts
This means more movie and show posts, maybe a game post here and there. I really want grow to be more diverse with my blog.
6. Do Some Kind of Wrap-Ups
I feel like wrap-ups are some of the most productive posts. It also allows you to take a look back on progress you made and what's touched you most, because even stuff that doesn't end up being your favorite still leaves a mark
Reading Goals
1. Read 90 Books
I hit my goal of 80 and that's a lot lower when I was in school. I'm trying to tell myself that is a decent amount and to be proud of myself. I feel 90 would be even better. I've already read more than I thought I could.
2. Read More Mysteries
I am slowly breaking out of my scaredy cat shell and reading more stuff I normally wouldn't. I would love to see how far I could push myself before the fear kicks back in. Plus I have a curious mind and most of the time I catch the plot twist before it's revealed. I want to see if a mystery can get me before I get it.
3. Read More Biographies/Memoirs
This is another genre I want to dip my toes in a little more. It's nice to hear peoples vioces as they tell the story of their lives
4. Do a Reading Challenge or at least attempt one
Honestly a few of these are way too out of my comfort zone to want to attempt but it will be fun to do some of these
5. Participate in a Readathon
This is another part of rejoining the community through social media. To get to know all you guys again. I would love to do RYBSAT or Dewey's but we'll see what happens.
6. Read 10 Paper Copies and 10 E-Books
I don't know if you're aware but my main source of reading this year has been audiobooks and I've missed other sources and writing notes to myself, tabbing good parts, etc.
7. Read a New Release
If I was more confident I'd put 3 but I'm so bad at keeping track of release dates, so if I get to the one I have my eye on I'll be proud of myself.
8. Read a Book by an Author I've Never Read Before
Whether it's a new author or just someone I've had my eye in. I want to get to know someone new.
9. Read a Classic
I feel like a bad english Major student for not reading more of these. I really want to pick up Jane Eyre, or more Dickens. We'll see if this happens =P
10. Finish a Series
What series I have no clue, but I'd like to finish one. See characters grow from the beginning to end.
11. Knock 10 Books off my TBR
Honestly my TBR is getting a little intense, but I know myself and I know I'm not going to stop buying anytime soon. I know I don't buy as frequently as I once did, but if I could knock some books off the ones I own when I treat myself I won't be as bad. That and I still have a pile of free stuff from RT 16 that are calling my name
1. Write Weekly
Whether it's a poem, quote, or a scene I want to set up a time at least once a week for me to get back into my calling
2. Use My Writing Prompt books
I bought 2 this year and I haven't touched them. I don't know if I want to write in them or use a separate notebook but I don't want to let them go to waste!
4. Read a Book on Writing
I want my creativity to grow again and I think I need some help. I am okay with that as I can't take classes at the moment
5. Watch TedxTalks on Writing
This will give me the feel of a class and even allow me to take notes. Plus it'd keep my attention and will allow me to pick multiple brains a day.
1. Eat out only once a week
I know this will be my hardest goal, but I do want to do it. I want to save more money and this is a small way to do it
2. Put Money in my Savings at Least once a month
I want to start rebuilding my nest egg again which will not only allow me to move, but allow me to travel as well.
3. Find and Get a New Job
Honestly I need more of a challenge in life and a job where I feel I can grow. As much as I lobe my coworkers I feel it's time to leave my first job and leave my mark on a new one
4. Travel to 3 Places
I was able to acheive this goal this year and it was one of the few things that helped keep me sane
5. Exercise 3 times a week
To be honest, I fell off this wagon a few times this year, but I want to keep it this year
6. Look into what it will take to move to Vancouver,Canada
I fell back in love this year and yes it's scary, but it wasn't just with a great guy, it was with a great city. I fell in love with a city. I felt my creativity want to sing again. Yes, LDR's are hard. Second chances are risky, and even riskier is moving out of state, but I feel I can't live my life wondering. So I am going to take the steps to get me closer to this plunge.
7. Audit a Class
Hopefully a new job will give me more time and energy to pursue this and I think I want to dive back into getting an AA in French, Business, or Hospitality. All 3 could help me towards a day job I could love. I miss school, and I honestly would adore having multiple degrees.
8. Look into Therapy
Although my depression hasn't hit it can and that scares me. I do miss having a neutral party to speak to. I miss not feeling judged.
9. Not Feel Guilty about Treating Myself
I work hard and deal with a lot of stress and don't want to feel bad for buying anything from a plane ticket to a new game or outfit. I'm not talking about a shopping spree just a small item every month or so.
10. Keep Positive
There is a lot going on in my family life and although it seems like the hardest thing to do. I don't want to let it break me. I want to stay positive and bring it to the others in my life.
Well bookworms these are all the resolutions I have. They may be a lot, but it's always good to aim high and feel proud of whatever I do accomplish. Do you have any resolutions? Do you think I'm crazy for having this many? Do you have any tips on how to accomplish them. Did you do a post on your resolutions or goals? Let me know in the comments below with links and help me start my goals off right. And as always happy reading and hope you all are having a good week!
Let's Chat: Life Update and Currently Reading
Hey bookworms! I know I say this every time, but I am trying to get better at being a constant or at least regular at this.
I hope your morning/day/ evening is going well depending where ever you are. It is currently Monday morning here AKA my Sunday. I was going to wait till later to write with my boyfriend to wake up to have a writing date (just sitting with each other on Skype or Facebook messenger for an hour and writing whatever we want), but I woke up to hear about the Shooting in Las Vegas (where I live but a 20ish mins away) on the Strip it left me a little shaken, so positive thoughts to everyone in my city. I don't want this blog to end up too sad, but if you guys can all send positive thoughts to the ones affected that'd be great.
Anywho life has been on a good patch lately, me and my boyfriend have found our way back to each other, I've been to Vancouver twice this year, recently for his Birthday in September and I swear it's not just him but every time I hit the tarmac and am officially in Canada it makes me feel at home. I love Vancouver and how I look at nearly everything and to me it feels like a story waiting to be written. Especially since it's the kind of place where if you wanted to get away for a day or two, hop on the ferry and your there in 2 hours. Honestly it made me want to pick up historical fiction being in Victoria getting lost in the awe when we went to Craigdurroch Castle. The history and seeing the way that this building change to fit the every need that was needed from it. How can you not want to explore and adventure out in the world? I want to live in Vancouver so bad I can practically taste it. So that's my goal in the next 2 years of my life, but then part of me starts to wonder if 25 is starting to late in life to do this? I dunno I hope not, so what I'm asking you all in the way of advice. Have any of you moved to Canada from the states or even from a different country than where you're originally from? How did you go about doing it? I know it's possibly gonna be a lot of paperwork and a lot of work it's not something I'm scared of.
Also another question that I am concerned about is the use of Transit because being in my chair for 3 days was not easy on my back and hips. Here I use Paratransit a system for those with disabilities where the bus picks you up and drops you off where you need to be. It is a ride share system, so rides can tend to get on the lengthy at times, but it is my independence even if it can have it's drawbacks, so for my Canadian readers (which hopefully I have) do you guys have a similar system that I can look into?
An update on my writing and reading life as well. I need to stop making excuses and sit down and just do it. Writing and reading used to be my escape from stress, life, it was protection from myself or whatever was currently getting at me. I've decided to start carrying a notebook with me and setting down an hour to write a week. No matter what it is blogging, poetry, quotes, or even my current WIP. It makes me sad I haven't touched it in almost a year. I want my writing to leave a mark, let others know they don't have to face it alone, or when they have to there is always a safer place to be where you can conquer other dangers along side others. Writing is coping it is letting my dark know that I am stronger than it is, or if it feels stronger I can give it an outlet. I hope I can stick to this new commitment. I feel it will help push me forward again see more of what I can do with the world.
Now that the life stuff is out of the way if you are still with me. Here is what has been keeping my literary world alive lately:
Currently Reading
1. American Gods by Neil Gaiman
I am really loving this book and hoping I can finish it before it's due back on Overdrive. Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors for a reason his way of writing and his use of details, it just sucks you in.
2. A Dog's Journey by W.B. Cameron
I bought this for the ferry ride for the trip to Victoria and it was perfect to keep our attention for 2 hours. It had me giggling and smiling at antics and it is just a light book that is something you can go to for ease.
3. Moon Chosen by PC Cast
Yes I am still reading this chunky thing and lets hope I can get it done before the end of the year. It is good but I've been quite the slow reader lately and although it makes me sad a bit, but I am try not to be hard on myself about it.
Well bookworms that's it for now and I have finished this post now with way too many distractions as it is almost 2:30 PM. I am gonna go get dressed and go grocery shopping and face the fact that tomorrow is another work day. I hope it is an easy, quick, and as stress free for all of us as possible. I will try and get my summer wrapup done soon, so you can see what I've been doing besides work and sleep. I am still kinda alive.
If you want to see what few pictures I was able to get in Canada follow my Instagram and see some of my adventure. I promise when I get my new phone hopefully next weekend, I'll be a better picture and video taker on my next adventure. Let me know if you enjoyed this post, have any advice, and of course what you're currently reading in the comments! I miss you all like crazy. Let me know if you're still here. Have a good week and as always, Happy Reading!
Book Retrospection: As I Descended by Robin Talley
Hey bookworms time for my first review of the year! I promise one day I will feel more confident in doing these and figure out how to make time to do these in my work life, but there was some … Continue reading
Book Talk: Is the way I'm reading lately another form of a reading slump?
Hey bookworms! Hope you're start of your week is getting off to a great start for me Monday is my Sunday, so I am hoping today goes by slow although I know it probably won't. But anywho this post is to talk about books.
I had this thought last weekend as I was browsing through my overdrive app removing books I've read and looking to add new ones. For those of you who don't know, since I work so much and have really long commutes sometimes an hour in the mornings to 2 hours on the way back some days audio books are my main source of reading.
I get my books from the library and so I am kind of at the mercy at what is available. Don't get me wrong I am still reading YA, but I am starting to to dig into adult fiction a little more, but lately there seems to be no reason to what I am picking.
I am not hungry or feel the urge to grab things lately like I used to. I miss being excited to read or not being able to get my mind off of a book, or thinking about the characters after I put it down unless it's a slow day at work (and we're not allowed electronics on the floor).
I don't know does this sound like a slump to you? I think about bringing paper books, but not having enough room in my bag prevents this and I am one of the horrible bookworms that lets her book get a bit banged up in her bag. (Please don't kick me out of the book work community >.<)
Anyway my fellow bookworms I need your help! What do you do when your feeling stuck or your reading appetite isn't what it used to be? I feel like maybe when I am on Vacation in September I will feel relaxed enough to read. I don't know how do you break away from work and make you focus on things you love? Let me know in the comments down below and Happy Reading!
Spring Wrap-Up: Books That Kept Me Company During My Favorite Season
Hey Bookworms! I thought since I haven't done the best with monthly reviews… I think I've maybe done one this year? I thought a seasonal wrap-up may make more sense until I figure out my next steps with blogging, writing, working, and traveling. I like sharing what I've read because it gives me a chance to look back on how my reading habits have grown change, how I've been called to read what I've read. So let's get started!
Spring Wrap-Up: Books That Have Bloomed with Me this Spring
Now before I start, I want to clarify what I count as spring, because even though most go off a calendar. I think it goes more off of the climate of where you live, so for me (since I've lived in Vegas all my life) it starts in March and ends in May. These books will begin with books I began in March and the last one I finished in May which was a total of 19 books! I am slightly proud because I just realized that is how many I read in 3 months! Yay me!
1. Truthwitch by Susan Dennard
My first audiobook of the season. I loved the friendship, and the essence behind the magic, but the world and what gave everyone their magic or who had what power tended to lose my attention a bit. I didn't know if it was worth the hype it got entirely as the way I fell in and out some parts did seem a little erratic. I don't know if I will be continuing it, but overall I gave this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
2. The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins
This book was exactly what I needed when I was in a slump. It kept my attention the whole time and I liked getting to know each of these characters. I loved knowing the royalty, but not knowing when the sequel came out it made me give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I definitely recommend this book to anyone in a reading slump that likes an adventurous tale.
3. The Wolf Boy is Mine Vol. 4 by Yoko Nogiri
Oh my godI loved this series! It is my new favorite Manga for sure it is gorgeous artwork and for me a relatable series at least with the main love interest. I just finished this series and I already want to read it again! 5 out of 5 stars honestly I'd give it a 10 out of 5 if it was possible.
4. Front Lines by Michael Grant
This was definitely an amazing going back in time seeing what would've changed if girls were allowed to fight in WWII. It also shows you what bravery looks like and that it isn't always a simple thing.
5. Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce
A reread to finish a series and I loved it as much as I did the first time. Tamora Pierce was one of my first examples of what a strong female should be, and Beka is no exception to that rule. Her books were also the first to show me love is love and to show that the LGBT is not something should ashamed or hidden.
6. We are Okay by Nina LaCour
This book is written beyond goregously, it made me feel every emotion written. I really don't have much to say besides READ IT! 5 out of 5 stars!!
7. Mastiff by Tamora Pierce
Without spoiling all I have to say is damn this was an unexpected heartwrenching plot twists. My heart definitely was broken I am still healing over this… 5 out of 5 stars though!
8. Wildflower by Drew Barrymore
As a lover of her movies I adored getting to know more about her life. If you're listening to the audio book, be careful because there are times she gets loud at times. The only thing that I didn't really love is that it was sporadic, I know it fits her personality it wasn't my favorite as a reader. 4 out of 5 stars.
9. Masquerade by Melissa De La Cruz
Another comfort reread it was good to see more of the powers emerging as well as the flashbacks 4 out of 5 stars.
10. Saga Vol 7 by Brian K. Vaughan (Writer), Fiona Staples (Artist)
Really amazing the plot twist at the end though!!! I need volume 8! 4 out of 5 stars!
11. A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller
I loved this because it definitely introduced me to a period that isn't touched much on in fiction. The period of the suffragette. I definitely recommend if you love historical fiction. 4 out of 5 stars.
12. The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern
Another reread that I read as a pick me up. I love her books that use magical realism it makes you think outside of the box or even makes you take a step back to look at your own life. 4 out of 5 stars.
13. The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Another reread and one of my favorite love stories and one I can definitely relate to. Whenever I feel reluctant to believe in love this is definitely one I turn to.
14. Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham
I listened to this on the plane ride back from Vancouver. Her story for me was very inspiring her persistence and what she worked for until she made it is inspiring to any artist. The behind the scenes of Gilmore Girls was also a fun glimpse as well.
15. Up in Flames by Abbi Glines
I know I don't like to call things guilty pleasures, and these books aren't exactly guilty pleasures. They are however simple reads that don't require too much thought especially as I get older. It also bothers me that these books have to end in a pregnancy. I believe in the New Adult Genre, but I also like when it shows safe sex showing the couples pursuing finding other paths as well. I know not every one thinks like me, so I hope I'm not offending anyone by being honest. Anywho this was a 3 out of 5 stars for me.
16. Rebel by Amy Tintera
I liked this book, but it didn't meet what I loved in the first book. There was an overdone cliche near the end that I've read in 2 books this year, but this book did twist it to an unexpected way, so it did save it. This was a 3 out of 5 stars.
17. Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines
Again same feelings as the previous Abbi Glines book, but I did like some of the topics this touched. 3 out of 5 stars.
18. Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
I really love this book and how it's not only about healing, but grieving and trying to change the world whether it's for someone close to you or others. This is a great coming of age book that I adore and I recommend it to everyone. This one is also what got me back into historical fiction. 5 out of 5 stars!
19. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
Rereading this took me back to high school and how I would just devour contemporary. Sarah Dessen let me know back then that you could come back from whatever broke you. Her books were often ones that kept me going. It was nice to reread and see how far I've come.
Well bookworms I'm finally done with this post. I've been working on and off on this today for a few hours. What books kept you company this spring? What ones kept a mark on you? Did you reread old favorites? What do you wish to see more of in a genre? Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments, let's chat! I hope you have a wonderful week, and Happy Reading!

Firefighters save historic church after steeple is hit by lightning
The bolt caused damage to the steeple but firefighters, coming from the station just a few hundred yards away, quickly knocked down the fire
By Paul Tennant
The Eagle-Tribune
PELHAM, N.C. — Lightning struck the steeple of the historic First Congregational Church, during a thunderstorm, around 4:30 p.m. Friday.
The bolt caused noticeable damage to the east side of the steeple but firefighters, coming from the station just a few hundred yards away at 36 Village Green, quickly knocked down the fire and kept it from spreading down to the rest of the building.
Building Inspector Roland Soucy checked the premises and determined the church can have its regularly scheduled service at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. The 15 to 20 church members who stood on the opposite side of Main Street after the lightning strike were relieved.
"The steeple took a direct hit," fire Chief James Midgley said. The sound of the strike was so loud that firefighters initially thought the lightning had hit the fire station, he added.
Firefighters attacked the blaze from inside the building and had to get up the stairs and work through narrow space to get at the flames, the chief said.
The Pelham Congregational Church in Pelham Center was stuck by lightning shortly before 5:00pm causing the building to...Posted by Pelham Police Department (NH) on Friday, August 17, 2018
"We have a key to the church," he noted. The lightning blew out the church's fire alarm panel.
"That will have to be replaced," Midgley said.
Engines 3 and 4 and Tanker 1 from the local department responded, along with Engine 1 and Ladder 1 from Salem. Windham also sent an engine.
All companies cleared the scene by 5:30 p.m., but Midgley stayed behind to inspect the building along with Soucy. The fire chief estimated the damage could be as much as $50,000. Firefighters were able to keep water damage to a minimum, he said.
The impact of the lightning strike moved some large beams in the steeple, he said.
The 3 Main St. church was constructed in the 1840s, according to members. Coincidentally, the First Congregational Church is between pastors.
The Rev. William Ferguson, much beloved by the congregation and the larger community, members said, just left to become pastor of a church in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
The deacons are now getting ready to interview candidates for the position of interim pastor. One of the deacons, Jane Ambargis, who has been a member of the church for about 20 years, explained that when a pastor leaves, the diaconate hires an interim -- who cannot be a candidate for the post of settled pastor.
After the deacons choose an interim pastor, they will begin the search for a settled or permanent pastor, she said. The First Congregational Church is affiliated with the United Church of Christ.
Ambargis said the church has about 300 members. The congregation's welcoming spirit is what has kept her in the church for two decades, she said.
"We welcome everybody," she said.
Just down Main Street from First Congregational sits St. Patrick Church, a Catholic parish with a school. A sign out front bears the message, "Farewell Rev. Bill. God be with you."
Despite their differing doctrinal views, the two churches have a close relationship, according to Deb Schneider, who lives in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, but crosses the state line to attend First Congregational.
They help each other with community meals and sometimes worship together at ecumenical services, she said.
"We'll get through it," she said of First Congregational's challenges of repairing the steeple and finding the right interim pastor.

How to make kale chips using sea salt and apple cider vinegarCategory: Recipes
How to make kale chips using sea salt and coconut oil
Over the last year kale has gained a ton of popularity in cooking and healthy eating trends. "Eating your greens" was something you were always told by your mom to do, but most of us turned up our noses to the leafy greens. Most didn't taste that good, or we just weren't aware of ways to make eating greens more enjoyable. Kale is very high in vitamin K and in fiber; both very good for your diet. But kale on its own can be hard to swallow with a slightly bitter taste. Kale chips are a great way to get some of these nutrient dense leaves into your diet while still being fun and enjoyable to snack on.
All you will need is a fresh batch of organic green kale, apple cider vinegar and sea salt. You will also need a baking tin and an oven (obviously, lol). Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grab your bundle of kale and then rinse it and let it sit to dry.
The next step is to remove all of the stems from your kale, no one wants to eat kale stems. To do this just hold the stem in your hands and use your other hand to push down around the stem to remove the leaves. They should roll off pretty easily. Once you have all the stems off you can throw them away and put your kale leaves into the baking tray.
Now put 1 tbsp of the apple cider vinegar on the laves and work it all over the leaves. Do not use too much vinegar or the leaves will not cook crispy. Then sprinkle some sea salt on and mix that all over too. Put your tin in the oven once it reaches the 350 degrees and time it for 10-12 minutes or until the leaves get dry.
Remove them from the oven and let them sit. They will be flaky and very delicate. Like potato chips, once you have one you can't stop. Soon you will be surprised that you ate an entire bowl of kale chips!
Nutritional breakdown of kale
Kale is packed with nutrition that puts it high on the list of the world's healthiest foods.
Kale is a leafy green cruciferous vegetable that is chock-full of essential vitamins A, C and K as well as minerals like copper, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. A cup of fresh kale has only about 40calories but packs almost 3 grams of protein.
One cup of cooked kale has over 1000% more vitamin C than a cup of cooked spinach and unlike spinach, kale's oxalate content is very low which means that the calcium and iron in kale are highly absorbable in the human digestive system.1

Ready to explore the 100 most often misspelled words in English? Hint: "misspell" is one of them. Below, you'll find a one-stop cure for all your spelling ills.
Each word is paired with a mnemonic pill and, if you swallow it, it'll help you to remember how to spell these tricky words. Once you master the orthography of the words on this page, you'll spend less time searching through the dictionary. Let's dive right in.
acceptable - Several words made the list because of the suffix pronounced -êbl but sometimes spelled -ible, sometimes -able. Just remember to accept any table offered to you and you will spell this word OK.
accidentally - If an -ly adverb comes from an -al adjective ("accidental" in this case), the -al has to be in the spelling. No publical, then publicly. See? And don't forget to double the C.
accommodate - Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both a double C AND a double M.
acquire - This word is rooted in the prefix ad- but remember this trick: D converts to C before Q.
acquit - Acquit follows the D to C before Q rule, too!
a lot - Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time on this problem.
amateur - Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends on the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er).
apparent - It's apparent that you must pay the rent, so remember this word always has the rent. Double the P, not the R.
argument - Let's not argue about the loss of this verb's silent [e] before the suffix -ment.
atheist - Lord help you remember that this word comprises the prefix a- (not) + the (god) + -ist (one who believes).
believe - You must believe that I usually comes before E except after C. (Actually, the "i-before-e" rule has more exceptions than words it applies to!)
bellwether - Nothing to do with the weather. A wether is a gelded ram, chosen to lead the herd (thus his bell) due to the likelihood that he will always remain ahead of the ewes.
calendar - This word has one E sandwiched between two As. The last vowel is A.
category - This word is not in a category with "catastrophe" even if it sounds like it: the middle vowel is E.
cemetery - Don't let this one bury you: it ends in -ery with nary an -ary in it. You already know it starts on C.
changeable - The verb "change" keeps its E here to indicate that the G is soft, not hard.
collectible - Another -ible word that you just have to remember.
column - A silent final N is not uncommon in English, especially after M.
committed - If you're committed to correct spelling, you'll remember that this word doubles the final T from "commit."
conscience - Don't let misspelling this word weigh on your conscience: CH sound spelled as SC is unusual but legitimate.
conscientious - Work on your spelling conscientiously and remember this word has the CH sound spelled two different ways: SC and TI. English spelling, huh!
conscious - Try to be conscious of the SC [CH] sound and all the vowels in this word's ending and i-o-u a note of congratulations.
consensus - The census does not require a consensus, since they are not related.
daiquiri - Don't make yourself another daiquiri until you learn how to spell this funny word - the name of a Cuban village.
definitely - This word carries a silent E everywhere it goes.
discipline - A little discipline in remembering both the S and the C will get you to the correct spelling of this one.
drunkenness - You would be surprised how many sober people omit one of the Ns in drunkenness.
dumbbell - Even smart people forget one of the Bs in this one.
embarrassment - This one won't embarrass you if you remember it's large enough for a double R AND a double S.
equipment - This word is misspelled "equiptment" a lot. Google it!
exhilarate - Remembering the silent H when you spell this word will lift your spirits and if you remember both As, it will be exhilarating!
exceed - Think of the speed limit you shouldn't exceed to remember it's -ceed, not -cede.
existence - You won't find it spelled with an A after the T anywhere in existence.
experience - Don't experience the same problem many have with "existence." Remember, it's -ence!
fiery - The silent E on fire is cowardly: it retreats inside the word rather than face the suffix -y.
foreign - Here's one of several words that violate the i-before-e rule. (See "believe" above.)
gauge - To learn to gauge the positioning of the A and U in this word remember they're in alphabetical order.
grateful - Keeping "great" out of "grateful" is great.
guarantee - This word isn't spelled like "warranty," even though they're synonyms.
harass - This word is too small for two sets of double letters, just double the S on the end.
height - English reaches the height (not heigth!) of absurdity when it spells "height" and "width" so differently.
hierarchy - The i-before-e rule works fine here, so what's the problem?
humorous - The R is so weak here, it needs an O on both sides to hold it up.
ignorance - Don't show your ignorance by spelling this word with -ence!
immediate - The immediate thing to remember is that this word uses the prefix in- (not), where the N becomes an M before M (or B or P).
independent - Please be independent but not in your spelling of this word. It ends on -ent.
indispensable - Knowing this word ends on -able is indispensable to good writing.
inoculate - This one sounds like a shot in the eye. One N in the eye is enough.
intelligence - Using two Ls in this word and ending it on -ence rather than -ance are marks of . . . you guessed it.
its/it's - The apostrophe marks a contraction of "it is." Something that belongs to "it" is "its."
jewelry - It's made by a jeweler but the last E flees the scene like a jewel thief.
judgment - Traditionally, the word has been spelled judgment in all forms of the English language. However, the spelling "judgement" largely replaced judgment in Britain in non-legal contexts. In the context of the law, however, judgment is still preferred.
kernel - There is more than a kernel of truth in the claim that all the vowels in this word are Es.
leisure - Yet another violator of the i-before-e rule.
liaison - Another French word throwing us an orthographical curve: a second I after the A and an S that sounds like a Z.
library - It may be as enjoyable as a berry patch but that isn't the way it's spelled. That first R should be pronounced.
license - Where does English get license to use both its letters for the S sound in one word?
maintenance - The main tenants of this word are "main" and "tenance" even though it comes from the verb "maintain."
maneuver - Man, the price paid for borrowing from French is high. This one goes back to French main + oeuvre "hand-work," a spelling better retained by the British in "manoeuvre."
medieval - The medieval orthography of English even lays traps for you: everything about the MIDdle Ages is MEDieval or, as the British would write, mediaeval.
memento - You might wonder why something that reminds you of a moment is spelled "memento?" Well, it's from the Latin for "remember."
millennium - This word is large enough to hold two sets of double consonants, double L and double N.
miniature - Since that A is seldom pronounced, it's seldom included in the spelling. But remember this one is a "mini ature."
minuscule - Since something minuscule is smaller than a miniature, it's a minus, not a mini. See?
mischievous - This mischievous word holds two traps: an I before the E, and an -ous not -us (or even -ious) ending.
misspell - What is more embarrassing than to misspell the name of the problem? Just remember that it is mis + spell.
neighbor - The word "neighbor" invokes the silent "gh" as well as the "ei" sounded as "a" rule. This is fraught with error potential.
noticeable - The E is noticeably retained in this word to indicate the C is soft, (pronounced like S). Without the E, it would be hard (pronounced like K), as in "applicable."
occasionally - Writers occasionally tire of doubling so many consonants and choose to omit one, usually one of the Ls. Don't do that.
occurrence - Remember not only the occurrence of double consonants in this word, but also the suffix -ence, not -ance.
pastime - Since a pastime is something you do to pass the time, you would expect a double S here. Sadly, the second S slipped through the cracks of English orthography long ago.
perseverance - All it takes is perseverance and you can be a perfect speller. The suffix is -ance, ruining an almost perfect run of Es.
personnel - It's not personal that personnel has two Ns, one L, it's business.
playwright - Since playwrights write plays, they should be "play-writes," right? Wrong. In Old English a play writer was called a "play worker" and "wright" is from an old form of "work."
possession - Possession possesses more Ss than a hissing snake.
precede - What follows, succeeds, so what goes before should, what? Nothing confuses English spelling more than common sense. We "succeed" but "precede" (from the Latin words pre + cedere meaning to go before).
principal - The spelling principle to remember here is that the school principal is a prince and a pal.
privilege - According to the pronunciation of this word, that middle vowel could be anything. Remember: two Is and two Es in that order.
pronunciation - Nouns often differ from the verbs they're derived from. This is one of those. In this case, as the second O has been dropped from pronounce, the pronunciation is different, too, an important clue.
publicly - Let's publicly declare the rule (again): if the adverb comes from an adjective ending in -al, include that ending in the adverb. If not, as in here, you don't.
questionnaire - The French doing it to us again. Don't question it, just double up on the Ns and don't forget the silent E on the end.
receipt - Surely, you've received the message by now: I before E except after . . .
recommend - Think of this word as the equivalent of commending: re + commend. That would be recommendable.
referred - Final consonants are often doubled before suffixes (remit, remitted). However, this rule applies to accented syllables ending on L and R, e.g. "rebelled" or "referred" and not containing a diphthong, e.g. "prevailed."
reference - Refer to the aforementioned word and remember to add -ence to the end of the noun.
relevant - The relevant factor here is that the word is not "revelant," "revelent," or even "relevent." It's all about L before V and the suffix -ant.
rhyme - Actually, "rime" was the correct spelling until 1650. After that, people began spelling it like "rhythm."
rhythm - This one was borrowed from Greek (and conveniently never returned) so it's spelled the way we spell words borrowed from Greek and never returned.
schedule - If perfecting your spelling is on your schedule, remember the SK sound is spelled as in "school."
separate - How do you separate the Es from the As in this word? Simple: the Es surround the As.
sergeant - The A needed in the first syllable of this word has been marched to the back of the line. Remember that, and the fact that E is used in both syllables, and you can write your sergeant without fear of misspelling his rank.
supersede - This word supersedes all others in perversity. This is the only English word based on this stem -sede. Supersede combines the Latin words super + sedere meaning to sit above.
their/they're/there - They're all pronounced the same but their spelling is different. "Their" is possessive. "They're" is the contraction of "they are." Everywhere else it's "there."
threshold - This one can push you over the threshold. It looks like a compound of thresh + hold but it isn't. Two Hs in the word are enough.
twelfth - Even if you omit the F in your pronunciation of this word (which you shouldn't), it's retained in the spelling.
tyranny - If you are still resisting the tyranny of English orthography at this point, you must face the problem of the Y inside this word. The guy is a "tyrant" and his problem is "tyranny." (Don't forget to double up on the Ns, too.)
until - We will never stop harping on this until it's spelled with an extra L for the last time!
vacuum - You just have to remember to spell this word with two Us, unlike "volume."
The English language is full of linguistic pitfalls and exceptions to the rules when it comes to spelling. But, memorizing this list will help you recover from all your spelling woes.
