Wedding bells and storm clouds collide in the first engaging
novel in a brand-new series about destination weddings, the
power of love, and the possible mishaps and missteps that
happen on a couple’s journey down the aisle to “I
do.”
Paramedic Vanessa Hollister has put her
adolescence behind her, including the unwanted label of
being the new kid in town over and over again, thanks to her
father’s military career. She’s overcome what her mother
called “the biggest mistake of her life” and is planning an
elegant destination wedding in Destin, Florida with her new
fiancé. But will the reappearance of her first husband from
her what-were-you-thinking teenage elopement disrupt her
dream of an idyllic beach wedding? As a professional
storm chaser, Logan Hollister is used to taking risks.
However, a reckless decision during the last tornado season
has him questioning the future of his team, the
Stormmeisters. Coming face to face with his ex-wife eight
years after their divorce compels him to confront his
greatest regret: losing Vanessa. Does their past give him
the right to interfere with her future? A
fast-moving, powerful hurricane throws Vanessa and Logan
together as they evacuate to a storm shelter along with
other residents of the Florida Gulf Coast. Forced to spend
time together, the pair battles unexpected renewed feelings
for each other. Vanessa and Logan are faced with a
choice: Should they accept, once and for all, their teenage
marital mistake? Or is God offering them a second chance at
happily ever after?

Re: Crazy Little Thing Called Love
GG Green Salad is our family recipe. Named after my mother who always brought this for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make it now and so do my children and grandchildren. (Jean Halloran 11:34am November 27, 2015)
WE haven't really named any of our recipes after someone but dad always makes the Chex mix. That is his job for the holidays. (Pam Howell 12:18pm November 27, 2015)
nobody ever in my family had a favorite recipe that was named after anyone but my Mom made a recipe that we all loved to eat it was really sweet and messy to eat (Jeri Dickinson 3:23pm November 27, 2015)
Never tried this recipe before but will try it tomorrow (Tammy Brazeau 6:41pm November 27, 2015)
Hit the post b4 I finished. Anyway there is a sandwich that the family named after my late father it's called poppys poppy seed grilled cheese (Tammy Brazeau 6:43pm November 27, 2015)
Jean: It's fun to see recipes passed down through the years. Pam: I've always considered Chex mix one of those you-can't-stop-eating-it kind of snacks. Jeri: Now I'm curious about your sweet, messy family recipe. Tammy: I hope you enjoy CJ's grape salad. (Beth Vogt 7:13pm November 27, 2015)
Aunt Tammy's Cinnamon Caramel Popcorn
10-12 cups popped popcorn(i pop mine in a big pan on the stove but a lot of the family prefer theirs air popped. both work.) 1-dram or 1 teasp. LorAnn’s super strength Cinnamon flavor candy oils(Don’t let the tiny bottles fool you! LorAnn’s super strength candy oils,are 3x to 4x stronger than typical alcohol-based extracts.) 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/8 teasp. cream of tartar2 1/2 teasp. salt 1/2 teasp. baking soda
Directions: Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Spread the popcorn out onto 2 large baking sheets. Set aside. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Stir constantly and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. Pour the caramel over the popcorn and stir gently until all the kernels are coated. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan and break apart large clusters if desired. Cover the popcorn tightly once cooled. Additional Notes: 1)If you do not have a popcorn maker at home, you can simply add 1-2 tablespoons of oil in the bottom of a large kettle/pan. heat oil and then cover bottom of pan in single layer of kernels. cover and listen for corn to start popping. once it starts,gently shake the pan to avoid burning until corn stops popping.(happens fast so don't leave unattended). remove from heat and continue as above. 2)Cream of tartar will prevent crystallization as the caramel cooks. If you're all out, you can make the caramel corn without it. Just know that its acidity helps to prevent crystals from forming in your caramel. Corn syrup does the same job too. 3)Make ahead tip: This caramel corn stays fresh for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container, so it's a great make ahead time saver.

my mom sponge cake (Marissa Yip-Young 6:24am November 28, 2015)
My Mother passed away 14 years ago, but I've kept her memory alive by making her Christmas cookies every year since. They're a labor of love, since they take 2 days to make, and are so worth the effort!! I'm looking forward to reading your latest book as well!! Congratulations on YOUR labor of love!! (Peggy Roberson 8:27am November 28, 2015)
Hard to pick just one. All the recipes seem to be mine, since most people love my cooking. Cream of carrot soup, cinnamon coffee cake, or lasagna I suppose. (Cynthia Powers 9:35am November 28, 2015)
No but I going to make one this year. (Emily Stemp 1:17pm November 28, 2015)

Can't wait to try your Mom's Grape Salad. It sounds yummy! (Darlene Comeaux 8:50pm November 28, 2015)
We have favorite recipes. One is Bubbe's latkes. (Sharon Berger 10:14pm November 28, 2015)
We have a get together with family and any friends who wish to come with them. Everyone chooses what kind or kinds of cookies they wish to make, but we always include my grandmother's gingerbread and spritz cookies and my other grandmother's "shrimp tails" which are a butter cookie with pecan bits, shaped like a shrimp and rolled in confectioners sugar. We end up with about 24 kinds of cookies to be shared and a day of music and laughter to remember. Sometimes, some of us do it again the next day to finish ones that needed to chill before finishing. It's always a highlight of the season for us, watching the faces of 3 generations working and laughing together. (Sharon Mitchell 4:11am November 29, 2015)

The Dunce Pie
It was dubbed so after my idiot of a sister who messed up a pie recipe. Surprisingly, it turned out okay so my family has been calling it that ever since. It is one of my sister's favorite desserts :) (H J 9:57pm November 29, 2015)
The one family dish that everyone knows is my grandmother's applesauce cake with icing. Nobody can replicate the way she made it taste! (Linda Herold 12:35pm November 30, 2015)
My mom would make a fresh fruit salad during the holidays. She used red seedless grapes, naval oranges, bananas and a fresh pineapple that she would peel, core and cut up. I was always there to help her because I liked to eat the pineapple core whenever she cut up a fresh pineapple. If she couldn't find seedless grapes, we would use the seeded grapes and would cut them in half and take out the seeds. We would eat the fruit salad with her homemade fruit cake.
My mom would also make a fresh coconut cake. She would buy a fresh coconut. She would take a nail and hammer it into the coconut and drain the juice -saving the coconut juice for the cake batter. Then she would use the hammer to break open the coconut, peel the skin off and grate the coconut pieces into a bowl. She also used the 7-minute frosting recipe on the 10x sugar box. (Anita Seymour 3:01am November 30, 2015)
Mom couldn't cook well at all, so nothing was ever named after her, so neither my sister nor me ever learned the fine art of cooking so nothing from us either (Jeri Dickinson 2:25pm November 30, 2015)
I hope to win. Happy holidays everyone. Cindy (Cindy Davenport 2:29pm November 30, 2015)
