Tasty Tuesday -- Captain Morgan’s Spiced Butter Rum Pound Cake


Captain Morgan’s Spiced Butter Rum Pound Cake
1 & 1/2 cup chopped nuts (Pecans, Almonds, or Walnuts)
1 & 1/2 cup raisins, cranberries, or other dried fruits
Cover dried fruit in boiling water, let stand 5 minutes or until plump, drain.

Dry Mix:
2 & 1/2 cups flour (Almond Meal or Coconut flour will work)
1 pkg vanilla pudding mix
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream Mix:
1 & 2/3 cups brown sugar, firmly packed (Substitute Brown Sugar Splenda)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
4 eggs
1/2 cup Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and lightly flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle half the nuts over the bottom of pan.

Mix together dry ingredients in a hand mixing bowl.

Cream together sugar and butter, then stir in the dark rum in a large mixer bowl; beat on low while adding eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add remaining nuts and raisins (drained). Mix thoroughly.

Gradually add in dry mix. Continue beating on medium for 2 to 3 minutes.

Bake for 55 minutes at 325°F or until done. Remove cake from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife along edges of pan if necessary, to free the cake from the sides. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

Glaze:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 pound butter (Margarine contains too much water!)
1/4 cup Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum
Melt butter in saucepan. Add water and sugar, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool slightly and then stir in rum. Set the cake in something like a large pie pan and  drizzle glaze over cake. Soak cake thoroughly, adding a small amount at a time. Dust finished cake with confectioners sugar (or Splenda) so it looks like a light snowfall.

Interview with Banning Hayes from Red Velvet Christmas: Merry Mate by B.J. McCall

What kind of job do you have?

A year ago, I inherited a rundown cattle ranch. The land sits at the base of Elk Mountain. I love the place and the life suits me. I plan to grow old here.

Who is your love interest?

When I moved to Elk Mountain, all I thought about was the fixing up the ranch. I never expected to find love or fall for a she-wolf. The pack elders aren’t too happy about it, but Sierra is the one for me.

Tell us about your first kiss with Sierra.

It happened at the annual Elk Mountain Christmas cookout. I’ve wanted to kiss Sierra since the first time I’d laid eyes on her, but the werewolves of Elk Mountain tend to stick to themselves when it comes to dating and mating. Sierra asked me to try on this Santa hat. I’m partial to my own hat, but I wasn’t about to disappoint her. She put the red hat on my head and when I looked at her I couldn’t resist. We weren’t on a date. It sorta just happened. Can’t say I regret it.
Odd thing is, I can’t get the hat off. It’s stuck on my head.

Do you have any pets?

I have a dog, Lucy. She’s good with the cattle but not with werewolves. Lucy’s never growled at Sierra so I’m hoping they’ll become friends.

Are you a night person or a morning person?

I’m a rancher. I have my first cup of coffee before sunrise and I’m in the saddle by first light. By sunset, I’ve put in a long day. Werewolves love running when the moon is high and Sierra is no exception. I’m not sure how we’ll work out this night person/morning person thing, but wolves need to howl at the moon and I want to make Sierra happy.

Would you share the blurb from your story?

Sure, and Merry Christmas.

A red velvet Santa’s hat that only fits one’s true love? Sierra doesn’t believe in magic, but she’s willing to give it a try and find her merry mate.

Banning is in love with Sierra, but the werewolves of Elk Mountain stick to their own kind. Banning would do anything to spend time with the beautiful she-wolf and he’s more than willing to try on a Santa’s hat to please her.

Humans are off limits, but what’s a wolf to do when the hat is a perfect fit?

Tasty Tuesday -- Homemade Hot Apple Cider

I adore warm beverages around the Holidays. They tickle my memories and relax my body. I'm going to share my Homemade Hot Apple Cider recipe with you. It's super easy to make and is guaranteed to keep a smile on your face. So curl up with a cup and read your favorite naughty tale.

Hot Apple Cider

  • 1 quart apple juice
  • 2 cups water
  • 5 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 cloves
  • 2 oranges, sliced (leave the peel on)
In large pot combine apple juice, water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange and bring to a boil
Reduce and simmer for 15 minutes or longer.

Note: I'll usually make larger batches and let it simmer for up to two hours to concentrate the flavor. Add more or less cloves as needed to really make this cider yours. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can substitute 8 oz of orange juice (with or without pulp).

Serve
Serves 4-6

If you'd like more recipes, check out Changeling's Tasty Tuesday selection and don't forget to pick up your copy of Red Velvet Christmas: Hidden Confections. There's a fantastic Better Than Sex Red Velvet Cupcake recipe in there you won't want to miss!

Until later!

Interview with Coralee Bradley from Zombies Don’t Make Good Pets by Ashlynn Monroe

What kind of job do you have?
I’m the town vet in Davis Wisconsin.

Describe yourself in three words.
Sassy, Sexy, Splendid

Who is your love interest?
Sergeant Jordan Parks

Tell us about your first kiss with Jordan.
We were hiding in a closet because zombies were trying to eat us.  Jordan rocked my world.

List three things about Jordan that turn you on.
He’s brave.  He knows how to take out an infected horde of zombies with ease.  The man has a body of a greek God.

How did you and Jordan meet?
He was looking for medical supplies to treat his injury.

Do you have any pets?
No, but there’s one pissed off zombie cat waiting for me back at the clinic.

Whipped cream or Marshmallow?
Chocolate!

What is the craziest place you and Jordan have made love?
The closet in my clinic.

What's your idea of a romantic evening?
Any night that isn’t interrupted by a angry, brain eating mob of mindless zombies

A relaxing bath or a long, hot shower?
I’d take either if I could find some hot water.  No one ever warned me how much I’d miss the little comforts during the end of the world.

What's your favorite food?
Chocolate!

What's one thing about Jordan that pisses you off? 
He has military secrets and he won’t tell me what he knows about the government’s involvement with the outbreak. Oh, and he leaves the toilet seat up!

What do you like to wear to bed?
Nothing but my machete and a smile unless it’s cold.

Would you share the blurb from your story?
Coralee Bradley is proud to be the only veterinarian in the small town of Davis, Wisconsin. The picturesque community sits nestled in the river valley surrounded by lush wooded bluffs. Everything about Davis is tranquil except for one thing -- zombies. Coralee finds herself battling for her life against the same people she called neighbors seventy-two hours earlier.
Sergeant Jordan Parks invades Cora's private domain after his black ops zombie fighting unit is overrun by the horde. Injured, he seeks refuge with an angelic redhead. When she suddenly becomes a threat to their safety there's only one thing he can do -- make love to her.
Cora has never seen a better looking man, but it's just her luck to find him when the world is going crazy and certain death waits outside. Jordan soothes her fear using his buff body to bring her to heights of pleasure she'd never imagined possible. One night of end-of-the-world sex will never be enough, but can they survive long enough for another roll in the hay? Cora only knows one thing -- zombies sure as hell don't make good pets.

Tasty Tuesday -- Gingerbread

'Tis the season for one of my all-time favorite things: gingerbread!

Be it cookies or the cake-like bread, I will happily devour gingerbread anytime of year, but there's just something special--magical, even--about fresh, homemade gingerbread during the winter holidays. The smells, the flavors... *happy sigh*

This is the recipe I use, though I honestly don't remember where I got it years ago. Enjoy!

***

Gingerbread

Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup light molasses
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour one 8 inch square baking pan. Cream shortening and sugar until light. Add the egg and molasses and beat thoroughly. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Bring water to a boil and add alternately with flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tasty Tuesday - Pat's Molasses Cookies


Molasses Cookies

Preheat oven To 375
SIFT TOGETHER:
1 and 1/2 cups of flour
3/4 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
then set aside

CREAM TOGETHER:
1/2 cup of crisco
3/4 cup of sugar
Combine flour mixture with sugar mixture.

THEN ADD:
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup of flaked coconut
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (she used pecans)

Drop by tablespoonful on cookie sheet about an inch apart. bake for 10 minutes.


This is my mother’s recipe for Molasses cookies. It brings back fond memories of coming home from school and how moist and chewy they are. When the kids were growing up as a treat my mom would stop by with one for each of us. They are so good. You are in for a treat.

Tasty Tuesday - An Icing to Die For

There are few things in this world that get my heart pounding and my mouth watering. One is a sexy and delicious romance (whether I read it, watch it, or experience it with my own Knight-in-not-so-shiny-armor, it's just as exciting!). The other is a decadent dessert that makes me forget, for just a little while, all the craziness that comes with being an erotic romance author on deadline as well as a mom, cook, housemouse, wife, lover, etc.

Today I'm going to introduce you to An Icing To Die For...White Chocolate Mousse. It's the perfect companion to The Better Than Sex Cupcake recipe found at the end of my Red Velvet Christmas story: Hidden Confection.

Take a look at the results of this recipe. What do you think? Delicious, no?

My husband and I worked for weeks to find the perfect blend of dark chocolate and red velvet to make a moist and delicious cupcake. The icing itself was a family favorite. Together...dynamite.

Without further ado, I present The Better Than Sex Red Velvet Cupcake Icing to Die For:

(recipe is modified from SuperChef's, my husband's, site, cbsop.com. Posted here with permission. All right's reserved)


ICING TO DIE FOR


  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces white chocolate baking bars, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla

Heat cream in a 1 small saucepan until just boiling (also known as scalding the cream) 

Place white chocolate into a heat proof bowl and pour hot cream over chocolate. Allow to sit for approximately 3 minutes, then stir until smooth. 

Stir in vanilla and refrigerate until extremely cold (approximately 1 1/2 hours), stirring occasionally. Mixture will be thin.

In a large bowl, beat cold chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute or until chocolate begins to thicken. Switch to high speed and mix until stiff peaks form (Note: if it won’t go to stiff peaks, it’s not cold enough, so place it back in the fridge for a half hour and then continue beating).

Pipe as needed onto cooled cupcakes. Important note here...if the cupcake is anything but room temperature or cooler, the mousse won't hold up well. 

If you'd like to see the delicious recipe for Mia Devyne's Better Than Sex Cupcakes, pick up Hidden Confection from Changeling Press December 5th or your favorite e-store as they're uploaded. 

Bonus for buying at Changeling...each Red Velvet book purchased gives you an entry into Changeling Press's annual event:

One Christmas Eve, Mia Devyne of Devyne Pastries went underground and closed up shop for good under scandalous rumors of bewitching red velvet holiday cakes designed to skyrocket your sex drive. Her disappearance sparked a worldwide search for her sensual seductions cookbook.

Four years later, a rival pastry chef has arrived on the scene with his own version of the cakes, and Mia can't stay away. For a Christmas present to herself, she wants to try just one bite of the Better Than Sex cupcake, and then she'll disappear back into the shadows. If she gets to kiss Liam again, well, that's just an added bonus.

Liam Merriman has one goal... draw the sexy Mia out of hiding and back to the spotlight where she belongs. He knows why she disappeared all those years ago, and he plans on picking up where they left off. Naked. In his bed.
