Trifling Trifle

So I went back  in time to book 1 and made the Trifling Trifle from my first book in the Recipe's for Disaster series: Let's Do Lunch, available on Amazon here. Proving I don't wholly follow instructions, I used pre-made strawberry cupcakes and, although I did remove the frosting, I could not omit the cream filling as it was too much a part of the cupcakes. But it worked okay anyway. I made the trifle as a large single serving in a fancy glass with the aforementioned strawberry cupcakes, vanilla pudding, frozen whipped topping, and red sugar crystal sprinkles, all matching the fancy glass from my wedding souvenirs. I even served it on a leaf plate with a few gummy hearts also covered in red sugar crystals. Oh so pretty.

 

I have books!

All but one of the books I ordered arrived today, getting ready for Third Thursday and the SW Bricktown Fiesta in Hutchinson next month! I will be posting more food soon in celebration.

Book 3 Release!

I am excited to announce the release of the third book in my Recipes for Disaster series, But What About Breakfast?  This one focuses on Witch Hayzelle herself and is a sort of odd autobiography told in the same style as the other two but with even more pandemonium between bickering narrators and the editor, nonsense poems, recipes, and more.  You can find it on Amazon here.

Breakfast Sandwiches, Mushy Dairy Stuff, and Coffee

So yeah, here's another sneak peek from Recipes for Disaster: But What About Breakfast? due out through Nat 1 Publishing this September 2025.  You can learn more here.  I know I know, but I make A LOT of breakfast stuff, and for lunch too.  These Breakfast Sandwiches feature sausage patties and cheese on bagel thins, and the Mushy Dairy Stuff is fat free small curd cottage cheese with strawberry jam and roasted hulled pistachios.  The coffee is just coffee with almond milk, a staple here.

Corny Cornbread and Jazzy Jambalaya

Here are some more Witch Hayzelle recipes from book 2 of Recipes for Disaster: Sup Sup Suppertime, found here on Amazon. This time we're featuring Corny Cornbread and Jazzy Jambalaya.  Note: I didn't add either rice or okra to the jambalaya this time, I decided the cornbread was plenty and I didn't need to stretch it to make more servings.  It does still include chicken, Andouille sausage, and shrimp, though, because how could it not?

Button-Making

I am starting to gear up for the Hutch Comic Con in June and so I made some buttons featuring fun sayings and pictures from the Witch Hayzelle books.  Here's a preview.  This is just the tip of the iceberg; I have a ton of fun weird merch and will be posting more pictures as the event draws closer...  :)
