JoBeth Tomlin loses everything--her family, her job, her figure and the man of her dreams, all before her thirtieth birthday. And just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, she has to move in with her eccentric aunt, two feisty cats and a flatulent old dog named Roscoe. With all the sorrow snacking going on, JoBeth’s food baby is starting to show. Will she turn to God or Little Debbie for answers?

Pickles with icecream~
(Marissa Yip-Young 6:06am August 28, 2015)

new author for me. would love to read your book
(Lorelei Frank 7:27am August 28, 2015)

I eat ice cream for breakfast! I also need chocolate daily. i love plain M&M's and Nestle Toll House morsels.

I'd love to read FOOD BABY while I indulge in a McFlurry at McDonalds!
(Laurie Gommermann 7:35am August 28, 2015)

I can't get through the day without nibbling on my Gimbal's
mini jelly beans!! I also keep a glass of Coke nearby to
sip on. My latest craving has been for bags of Munchos
chips. The other cravings aren't too far out of the
ordinary. They're just for foods that I grew up with, so
when the craving gets too strong, I just cook them up
myself, and make my Husband eat them, too!! ha Your book
sounds like fun, since I can't recall really having those
big ice cream binges, other than the occasional ones for a
Frosty from Wendy's. I'm sure you'll bring a couple of them
back to those days of mine, and ring a bell for me!! Loved
your posting!! Congratulations on your book!!

Cold pizza is my go-to breakfast food.
(Deb Philippon 10:13am August 28, 2015)

I have to have my vanilla ice cream every night . I've got this inner-tube around my waist now and trying to get rid of it which is very hard to do . I've started Zumba classes and have switched to frozen vanilla yogurt ,which is not bad at all .I would love to win your book , it sounds like a story we can relate to .
(Joan Thrasher 11:17am August 28, 2015)

I like to add pepper to my ketchup until it goes from red to black (or just really super dark brown). And dipping my fries in ice cream xD lol

LEMON JUICE ON MY FISH STICKS - EVERYONE FINDS THIS WEIRD BUT ITS GOOD

PS THIS BOOK sounds GREAT
(Debbi Shaw 9:21pm August 28, 2015)

I have to eat string cheese at least once a day.
(Carrie Edmunds 7:40am August 29, 2015)

Tartar sauce on my fries :)
(Dianne McVetty 7:48am August 29, 2015)

When we lived in Round Rock, Texas we had a Long John Silvers
and my husband always asked for the crispies. No charge. I
will add you to my TBL list of authors.
(Leona Olson 8:24am August 29, 2015)

WOW
(Jeanette Schroeder 10:03am August 29, 2015)

I think "Food Baby" this would be a fun read.
(Tammy Woodall 12:28pm August 29, 2015)

Besides chocolate, I used to crave marshmellow cream.
(Nancy Luebke 2:24pm August 29, 2015)

I like Cheez Whiz and mustard sandwiches. It all goes back to the sixties when my mom had grizzly hamburgers and insisted that we eat them all up before leaving the table (long before microwaves). They got cold and even "uckier", so when her back was turned my brother and I would stuff the burger into the inside of the dining room table shelf underneath, then eat the Cheez Whiz and mustard still in the bun. (Sometimes we'd forget to retrieve the burger and the dog would find it. Of course, we'd hope that happened when Mom wasn't around to witness the dog eating it, or there would be H to pay - as these were the days when "the strap" was prevalent, at home and by the school principal.)
(Elaine Seymour 3:04pm August 29, 2015)

I won't drink orange juice! When I was young, I had to take castor oil with orange juice before a gastro exam....now, I have a phobia against it.
(Susan Coster 5:25pm August 29, 2015)

I would love to win and read this book. McDonalds sounds good too.
(Kathy Church 5:34pm August 29, 2015)

I LOVE THE COVER AND THEN I LOVE THE WAY YOU DID THE BOOK
(Desiree Reilly 7:04pm August 29, 2015)

Grilled cheese sandwich with a scrape of jam on one of the
slices of bread.
(G. Bisbjerg 7:10pm August 29, 2015)

My favorite sandwich is a layer of peanut butter, a layer of tuna, a layer of peapods and then about a pound of mixed greens! It's delicious! I've proven it to co-workers! Additionally, I absolutely have to have a piece of toast after I eat ice cream, just have to have one!
(Kathleen Bylsma 7:23pm August 29, 2015)

I like to drink sweet tea with everything I eat.
(Nina Bilik 9:39pm August 29, 2015)

Chocolate goes with anything.
(Nancy Jacobs 10:28pm August 29, 2015)

I am a pretty plain eater, but I do like to add a splash of various fruit juices in my iced tea.
(Valerie Owen 10:42pm August 29, 2015)

I like pickles and popcorn
(Racquelle Robinson 12:00pm August 30, 2015)

I will eat cheese on pretty much anything. I like to eat nuts (especially raw almonds and roasted,salted pistachios) but the weirdest food combo is putting crunchy peanut butter in my instant raisin,date and walnut oatmeal.
(Ida Stone 2:44am August 30, 2015)

Unfortunately, I eat while watching football on TV.
(Donna Gantt 7:35am August 30, 2015)

I like to eat rice crispness and put chocolate milk in them.
Mostly I eat plain food.
(Christina Riggs 7:41am August 30, 2015)

I love chocolate and wish it were its own food group. But my main food quirk is I usually don't like my food to touch.
(Pam Howell 8:07am August 30, 2015)

I never use a spoon to eat ice cream, it's always something
salty like chips or pretzels.
(Mary Lynn Hayes 8:44am August 30, 2015)

Every thing here points to a good sense of humor!
(Richard Burr 10:00am August 30, 2015)

I actually don't like fruit but still try to eat at least some every day. My solution is to bury the fruit in something - whipped cream, chocolate, nuts, caramel, vanilla yogurt are some of my favorites.
(Nancy Marcho 2:02pm August 30, 2015)

i am addicted to Reeses King Size Reeses peanut butter
cups. They taste better and different than the ones in
other sizes.
(Sasha Payne 3:14pm August 30, 2015)

I can only get my caffene carbonated! That said I prefer
Coke to Pepsi ( too sweet). I have a bought 3 cans a day
(Janis Milford 8:15pm August 30, 2015)

I don't think I have any food quirks, but I've discovered a really tasty treat---Nutella on Bischoff cookies. That and a cup of tea will make you feel really special.
(Flora Presley 8:55pm August 30, 2015)

Cute cover and I would love to win this book.
(Stacie Williams 8:58pm August 30, 2015)

I like to sprinkle vinegar on my french fries. I also enjoy chocolate any time of day.
(Bonnie H 9:31pm August 30, 2015)

When I was pregnant I would dump sour patch kids into a glass of water and drink it. When I finished drinking it, I would eat the soggy candy out of the bottom with a spoon. :)
(Jessica Fox 10:46pm August 30, 2015)

One of my food quirks is putting ketchup on fried eggs.
(Fred Holmes 11:27pm August 30, 2015)

It's not so weird to eat cold hamburgers with chocolate pudding. Or a cold burger in a spinach wrap for a quick snack!
(LeAnn Knott 3:33am August 31, 2015)

This seems like such a fun book to read.
(Faye Gates 8:08am August 31, 2015)

Sounds like a fun book, thanks for sharing~
(Belinda Joyner 8:21am August 31, 2015)

Dip?!
(Nancy Ludvik 9:13am August 31, 2015)

Peanut Butter and Jelly on Crackers
(Carolyn Moon 9:22am August 31, 2015)

I eat dry cereal with grapes in the bowl, no milk
(Linda Fast 9:38am August 31, 2015)

I eat too much! but i love to read.
(Mary Hay 10:10am August 31, 2015)

Tuna fish and pickle sandwiches are delish! Also I like
Kool-Aid mixed with white champagne as sort of a wine
spritzer, its really good. (Not real expensive
champagne.) I discovered this because I had several
bottles of white champagne as gifts and I don't really
like it. I wanted a wine cooler one hot summer day, and
did not have it. So I decided to see what my raspberry
Kool-Aid would taste like added to the champange I wasn't
going to drink anyway. It turned out to be a refreshing
spritzer! I have done it with every bottle I receive
since.
(LaCinda Jameson 10:24am August 31, 2015)

The book sounds great, I'd love to win.
(Wilma Frana 11:16am August 31, 2015)

Peanut butter and banana toast
(Joan Wright 11:51am August 31, 2015)

I am excruciatingly fond of Concord grapes.
(Mary Ann Dimand 1:36pm August 31, 2015)

I love season salt on cottage cheese and cottage cheese on
avocado.
(Denise Austin 1:44pm August 31, 2015)

I am not positive this is correct; I love salads. I eat a salad almost every day. I love fresh fruits and vegetables. I would totally adore to win your new book. Thanks
(Cindy Davenport 2:43pm August 31, 2015)

I have to have dark chocolate at least twice a week, and I
love eating compari tomatoes anytime.
(Neena Martin 2:58pm August 31, 2015)

My lovely niece has inherited my strange food cravings during her late-in-
life pregnancy. She has pbj sandwiches at midnight, cold pizza for
breakfast, & leftover fried rice with pickles for lunch. She never passes a
McDonalds without stopping for a happy meal with extra Apple slices for
herself. This is the girl for your contest! Thanks for the chance for this
giveaway.
(K'tee Bee 4:25pm August 31, 2015)

Apple slices covered with peanut butter. Sliced tomatoes
topped with Italian or Ranch dressing on wheat bread. Slufee
tomatoes covered with white milk gravy. Yum!
(Connie Saunders 5:19pm August 31, 2015)

A slice of Pizza at 2am, or just about anytime.
(Christine Pertuz 7:40pm August 31, 2015)

I'm almost afraid to read this. I moght find some new food I need to eat!
(Arlene Downey 8:01pm August 31, 2015)

I love apple slices while watching a movie instead of popcorn
(Melissa Maringer 9:16pm August 31, 2015)

Celery with peanut butte
(Debbie Rudder 9:34pm August 31, 2015)

I like a Whoopie pie . Yum.
(Deb Pelletier 10:03pm August 31, 2015)

I want to know what Jobeth will do. Turning 30 is hard for
any person. This would be a great fun read.
(Sherry Cockerham 10:10pm August 31, 2015)

I don't like to drink coffee, but I love coffee ice cream. Can't figure out why.
(Cindy Rader 11:10pm August 31, 2015)
