    The Silent Patient Book Review ~ Suspense in the Psych Ward

    September 14, 2020 / 0 Comments

    by Alex Michaelides London, present time, Psychological Thriller Book Review  “No crazy parts allowed.” The Silent Patient is visceral. Michaelides is extremely descriptive and yet clean, using no unnecessary fluff words. He took his time rolling the story out but it didn’t feel slow; I was never bored or easily distracted from the book. It just felt as if he purposefully immersed the reader into the minds of Theo and Alysia. At first, I had no interest in Theo’s story. I just wanted more of Alysia. but then I started getting hooked on Theo’s psychotherapeutic interpretations of the other characters. No spoilers but The “Twist” that hyped this book and…

    Roasted Salsa

    September 14, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I love this time of year when the last of the tomatoes come off the vine and football games grace the tv. My husband loves to grill on game days and this salsa is a great companion to meats and veggies as well as chips. If you can add fresh oregano as well as fresh cilantro it will heighten the flavors of this salsa to the next level! Nothing beats fresh herbs. If you’re making this during the Luteal or Follicular phases, try throwing some artichokes in the blender along with everything else. This recipe has at least 2 of the recommended Ovulatory Phase foods, but it’s a great healthy…
