Now back to your regularly scheduled blogging...

Whoa. Almost a month has passed! My apologies. I have been feverishly working on and trying to finalize the burger book, and I also have another project in the works I can't quite talk about yet, but nonetheless, I apologize for my recent lapse in posting.

So, the Burger Book is almost done. I hope to have it available for the holidays, we shall see...

Did I mention that Celine Steen of Have Cake, Will Travel, has taken the most BEAUTIFUL photos for the cover? Here's a sneak peak of one of her amazing pics:

Sundried Tomato Pesto Burgers

That's all for now. I promise to be more diligent in posting!
