365 Nights — A Memoir of Intimacy http://www.charlamuller.com/blog Charla Muller had a wonderful marriage. There was only one thing missing. She decided to change that...

So, what happens when you bring together a hunky evangelist for eating local, an old bus, piglets, a farm, and 100 new friends?  An evening to remember

This is a link to the first part of a two-part interview I did with Amy Freese of Designher Living on WSRadio.com.

Amy Freese is a  life coach and speaker who works with people to design a custom-fit-life.  The first part of the interview talks about the creation of the book.  The second part talks about how I received Brad’s blessing to do the book, the many of the challenges women tackle in marriage and life and a few life lessons I learned along the way.

In a fit of culinary insanity I agreed to do a cooking segment with my favorite television personality, Colleen, on Charlotte Today!  It airs LIVE tomorrow on WCNC (NBC) at 11, right after the third hour of the Today Show. I follow Kathie Lee and Hodtja – so things can only look up, right?  You can watch streaming video at http://www.wcnc.com/charlotte-today.  That cute apron was a gift from my FAB sister-in-law.

I’ll be cooking  up a meal for a Sunday night family dinner.  I’m doing a Pan-Seared Flank Steak with Roasted Asparagus and Potatoes.  These are all go-to recipes from Sunday Night Family Dinner – they’re easy, won’t break the bank and kids AND adults love ‘em.  Remember, I’m feeding four adults and five kids (ages 2 – 10) on Sunday nights, so I need to be able to stretch a menu and a dollar.  Also, ALL of these recipes will translate to a grill – great for Spring.   So, if you can, tune in or set your DVR for 11:00am this Thursday (April 15).

If you’re in the Nashville area, I encourage you to come and see all the wonderful exhibits, check out the celebrities such as  Jonathan Kayne from Bravo’s hit TV show Project Runway, Sue Whitney, the original JUNKMASTER, who has made numerous appearances on the Today Show and HGTV’s Country Style, and is the co-author of Junk Beautiful and many more celebrities and shows.

LOVE the tagline “This is not your mother’s magazine.”  This brings me great relief as I furtively purchased a Good Housekeeping at the grocery store last week (and read it).  That is definitely my mother’s magazine, not good news.

Katherine is a friend and a relative – don’t you notice the stunning resemblance?  Check it out and share with your friends in Tampa and St. Pete. www.mommazine.com.  Also, there is a cute blogger who attended the book launch called Running Better.

Check out her blog at http://runningbetty.com/tag/mommazine.
