The 7th Day of Christmas! Finger Foods!

darcyflynn

On the 7th Day of Christmas I grill chicken wings! The key is in the marinade! You’ll need lots of napkins for this one! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS                  darcyflynnromances.com, joy dent

5 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
24 chicken wings

DIRECTIONS

Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, mustard, and garlic powder in a bowl. Arrange the chicken wings in a 9×13-inch baking dish, and pour marinade over the chicken. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Grill until the wings are no longer pink in the center.

If you prefer, you can bake the wings in the oven. Preheat to 375 degrees F.  Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken wings are no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour, basting occasionally.

 

I love books with dogs and this delightful book cover is calling my name! Meet Rachel Lacey and enjoy her book blurb!

Unleashed by Rachel Lacey

Rachel Lacey Unleashed Book CoverWhat happens when you find the right one at the wrong time?

Cara Medlen has a serious case of animal attraction. And it’s not because of all the foster dogs she’s rescued. She’s got it bad for her incredibly sexy neighbor. Her one rule: Don’t get attached. It’s served her well with the dogs she’s given to good homes and the children she’s nannied. Yet the temptation of Matt’s sexy smile might just convince her that some rules are made to be broken.

Matt Dumont doesn’t need his skills as a private investigator to detect disaster on the horizon. Cara is everything he thought he’d never find—gorgeous, funny, and caring. But there’s no way he can start a relationship just as he’s about to move to another state. Talk about bad timing. As their attraction sizzles too hot to deny, they’ll have to make a decision: forget the consequences and let loose, or forget each other and let go…

I’m very excited to be part of the first ever,

Authors in Bloom Blog Hop!

Let the fun begin!
Create a Honey Bee Spa

Spring is in the air and so are the honey bees. Did you know that honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of our natural foods and that they are disappearing? Join me in creating a colorful bouquet from which they can feed.

Bee-friendly flowers provide nectar that keeps honey bees alive and pollen that helps fruits and vegetables to grow. If space is limited, you can plant the apporpriate flowers in a pot on your window sill or small balcony. If you have the space, a honey bee garden in your back yard is even better.

Honey Bee Gardening Tips

Choose flowers for their nectar and pollen. Annuals such as Sunflowers, Daisies, Zinnias, Asters, Marigolds and Geraniums are good and easy to find. There are others but these are readily available in the spring. Include perennials in your mix as well.

Whether you use plants or seeds, make sure your flower selection blooms successively over the spring, summer and fall. This will provide food throughout all seasons.

Choose colors that are most attractive to honey bees; blue, orange, purple and yellow.
