#ManCandyMonday One is Not Enough! The Boys of Summer

It’s that kind of Monday and one piece of Man Candy is not enough! I need a whole handful of deliciousness and since it’s my favorite time of year – BASEBALL season – I’m sharing with you a bunch of handsome Boys of Summer. Just click here to check them out!

However, I must take exception to some notable exclusions from the list!

What no David Wright, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee? Seriously, how can you not like this cuteness?

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chick Peas #Recipe #Healthy

Before we get to today’s recipe, please take a moment to visit with me at my Smartgirls SciFi interview and a spotlight at Books a la Mode!

Now for the recipe, kind of. My friends and I were chatting about diets in general and to be honest, it’s more about a lifestyle change and not just a diet. You go off diets and then you have that rebound that I’ve done more times than I care to think about.

So this time I am committing to a change that will be more permanent. I’ve almost eliminated soda from my life. I limit myself to one a day. I’m drinking more water and watching my carbs. I went off a bit this weekend and all I could think about on Monday were bagels, muffins, donuts and all those things that I know do not sit well with me.

I’m also trying to deal with cholesterol that’s a little too high and that prompted a discussion of honey and cinnamon. Apparently this combination has been touted as a cleanse, but apparently the two can also help lower your cholesterol.

So I’ve been having both in my coffee and oatmeal, but I thought I’d search out a fun way to combine these two! Lucky for you I found an interesting recipe for Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chick Peas!

Thanks to The Pastry Affair for the recipe. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend since I think I’ve got a can of chick peas sitting around. I usually use them to make hummus, but this sounds far tastier!

#ManCandyMonday Jake Owen

Now, please don’t get mad at me, but I’m not much of a Country Music fan. I lean more toward Top 40 and alternative rock, but I have to say this: OMG, there are a lot of really good looking male Country Music stars.

So in homage to cowboys, boots, the Texas Two-Step, Nashville, the Grand Ol’ Opry and all things country, today’s Man Candy Monday choice is Jake Owen.

I could say a lot about Jake. Former wakeboarder until an accident led him to a guitar. Bestselling singer-songwriter. He’s hosting this week at the awards, I believe. But I’ll let one picture speak for itself.

Or maybe not, ’cause I have to say, Jake is one mighty fine piece of Man Candy!

Come over to my Fan Page and Kelly’s Fan Page page to offer your comments on our respective candidates and we will pick one winner every week to receive a copy of a backlist book!

Thoughtful Thursday: a New Project and a #Giveaway!

But first, drop by Musings from an Addicted Reader for some blurbs and more chances to win the prizes in the Double Trouble Blog Tour!

This new project is inspired by my FABULOUS daughter. She’s been building a following of her own for some wonderful fan fiction she’s writing. The idea came from her and requests from her fans for some hints about what was going to happen in her story line.

So here goes with the new project!

Feel free to post questions every Thursday and for the following week, I’ll pick out some of those questions and answer them in a video. From those questions I pick out, I will select one person to win a copy of a backlist book!

So how does that sound?

On another note – so excited as today I broke past the 30 pound mark. I’VE LOST OVER 30 POUNDS! Wow. I am so pumped to keep on with this new lifestyle change and get to a much healthier weight and keep at that weight.

Wish me luck!
