Cooking with a Writer – Snarky and Desperate Vegetarian Recipes – Buckeye Balls Redone

Buckeye-Balls-Of-Easy-Land

In honor of the Staggs, I made this again.

[ultimate-recipe id=”2153″ template=”default”]

I am not a baker. I’m more of a cook. 

Shaun legitimately said to me, “I’ve never seen anyone cook like you. You’re so good.”

And I said, “What about your mom and aunts and stuff?”

And he said, “Yeah. They were good cooks.”

And I said, “What’s different then?”

And he said, “Well, they follow directions.”

He quickly started laughing because he realized how mean that sounded. So,  we’re still married somehow. I’m not sure how.

Anyway. I’m not so good at following directions and baking? Baking usually requires that. So Buckeye Balls are one of my go-to recipes because they are easy and because one of my friends hoards them when I make them for him.

There’s no better compliment than when one of your friends covets, hides, and hoards your food.

IN THE WOODS – READ AN EXCERPT, PREORDER NOW!

My next book, IN THE WOODS, appears in July with Steve Wedel. It’s scary and one of Publisher’s Weekly’s Buzz Books for Summer 2019. There’s an excerpt of it there and everything! But even cooler (for me) they’ve deemed it buzz worthy! Buzz worthy seems like an awesome thing to be deemed! 

You can preorder this bad boy, which might make it have a sequel. The sequel would be amazing. Believe me, I know. It features caves and monsters and love. Because doesn’t every story?
