Fast Mocha Frappe in Blender

-
Although real maple syrup has about the same number of calories as white sugar, it tastes sweeter so I end up using less. It doesn't make my coffee drinks taste like pancake syrup either--it just sweetens them as sugar would. This homemade mocha frappe is the perfect pick me up on a summer morning!

Ghost Writing and Time Management in the Summer

Photo by  J. Kelly Brito  on  Unsplash I haven't posted in a while since I've been busy writing for a new client. Yes, that's right, I now have someone I write for directly, so I'm making more money. The person who hired me followed my blog in the past, so it does pay off to have a personal blog. Writing in the Morning Works Best For Me Cutting out the middleman is definitely the way to go, but I am still struggling a little bit with time management since my husband's schedule has been inconsistent, and there has been a lot going on in our lives this summer. Hopefully, our family will have a more predictable routine soon, and now that I'm getting over this cold, I should be able to do more writing at my most productive time of day, which is early in the morning. Writing for Blogmutt The Blogmutt articles that I wrote a few weeks ago are starting to sell one by one, so it's nice to have those eight dollar payouts finally trickling in. With content sites l

I just discovered recently that my bread machine has a setting for quick bread. The "quick" setting is for sweet bread such as banana bread or zucchini bread that calls for baking soda or baking powder instead of yeast. There is no kneading or rise cycle on the quick setting--it simply mixes and then bakes. Read on to find out how to make summer squash bread in your breadmaker.    My husband brought home some crookneck squash a coworker grew in his garden... So we made s ummer squash bread ... Ingredients: 1 egg, beaten 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoons vanilla 1 1/2 cups grated fresh yellow squash, zucchini, or other summer squash 1/3 cup melted butter 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoons cinnamon  1 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 cup walnuts (optional) This recipe makes about a one-pound loaf. You may be tempted to double the amounts, but DON'T! A larger loaf does not come out quite right due to the sh

Review of Writing for Blogmutt

Ghostwriter Lol! Lately, I'm thrilled with the way things are going with my writing. Blogmutt, the content company I write for, recently sent out an e-mail saying they've had an influx of new customers over the last few weeks, so there is plenty of work to go around. They aren't kidding! It has gotten so much easier to find easy writing assignments to do that I can find something to write virtually any time. I highly recommend them and plan to continue to write for them even though I also have a direct client that keeps me pretty busy. The Pay Blogmutt pays eight dollars for a 250-word post, so on those posts, you can make 3.2 cents per word. If a client directly requests you, you can make ten percent more and write posts revolving around the same subject for a while. Not only that but once you get enough points from writing and selling posts, you can unlock longer assignments on better subjects, presumably because there is less competition at those higher level
