John Bloom, and his best friends Joe and Chewie live, play, and get into adventures in 1940's era Appleside, NJ. Because children are generally joyful and tend to put more importance on the goings-on of their own worlds than those of grown-ups, the events of the war are woven into the boy's daily lives. Along the way, a bitter and cynical old man is drawn into their hijinks, and contributes his own joy to the lives of these 3.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Chapter One invites the reader to join John and his friends in Appleside, NJ on the afternoon of December 6th, 1941. Through newspaper headlines and radio bulletins, the boys learn about the incredible events of the war- beginning with the attack on Hawaii by the Empire of Japan. As the story moves along, John and his friends learn that everyone- not just soldiers- can make a difference. They learn that commitment leads to ultimate success and that taking a seemingly insurmountable task one step at a time will make that task simple. John, Joe and Chewie learn about where their food comes from, and how important good food is to the Allies overseas. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">John Bloom and the Victory Garden is not just a story of Homefront USA during WWII. Its about faith, endurance and sturdy values that transcend time and cultural differences. It's about accepting tough times, struggle and adversity and overcoming them anyway. It's about seeing the humor in life, and helping others to see the humor too. </span><br />

I love a book that not only provides a good read, but also offers a great recipe at its conclusion; and <i>John Bloom and the Victory Garden</i> doesn't disappoint. The book offers a total of five recipes at its conclusion and the recipes range from main dishes to desserts. I opted to try the recipe labeled <b>Nonna's Buttered Noodles </b>since I had most of the ingredients on hand. The noodles were fast, flavorful, and super simple to make. My five year old and I loved them! Since I did not have fettuccine noodles in my pantry, I opted to substitute angel hair pasta instead; which I did have. Also, with the 2 tsp. black pepper, it was a tad bit on the spicy side. To cut down on the spiciness, simply reduce the amount of black pepper by half. Here is a pictorial step by step guide to making your own. Enjoy!<br />

Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.</span><br />

In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.</span><br />

starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion.

The drink, Orangeade, has been around since the 19th Century and usually consists of a mixture of orange juice, sweetener, and water. Original versions of the drink were carbonated. I got the idea to make Orangeade as it was a drink that Louie Zamperini ("Unbroken") drank while participating in the Olympic Trials. I also added a <i>twist</i> to the original drink as I wanted to add carbonation with a hint of the tropical flavor, mango. To make that possible, I added one 17 oz bottle of Sparkling Orange Mango flavored water. So step back in time to make this super simple drink; it will be a winner with the kids! Here is a pictorial step by step guide to making your own. Enjoy!<br />

Money is tight, and if Papa doesn't pay back his loan soon, the bank will take away the farm.</span><br />

Suddenly Mama comes up with an idea — sweet potato pies! The family can sell her pies at the Harvest Celebration that starts the very next day. There's not much time to get ready, but as Sadie and her brother enlist the cooperation of their old cow, squawking chickens, and half-blind goat, the family rises to the challenge. And in the end it's Sadie who comes up with just the right recipe for success.</div>

This year for Thanksgiving I was tasked with bringing some of the vegetable side dishes. Besides a couple of savory vegetable sides I will be cooking, I decided to also bring something sweet; but still use vegetables. The sweet potato. I thought about bringing the traditional sweet potato pie, but my niece Jurnee does such a wonderful job at making them, I thought it best not to even try to attempt to steal her thunder...besides I think she would win that challenge hands down! So I thought I would try something different using sweet potatoes--Sweet Potato Whoopie Pies. Moist, flavorful, and delicious; they might not last long enough to make it to Thanksgiving dinner! (Ummmm, yeah, I had to make a second batch the next day because my family wouldn't stop eating them, LOL). Try them, they are sure to be a hit! Here is a pictorial step by step guide to making your own. Enjoy!<br />
<b>Note: Unfortunately, I ran out of time to make the Pecan Cinnamon Crunch Coating (listed below), b</b><b>ut I still wanted to keep the ingredients on this post for future reference. :(</b><br />

The broccoli casserole is one of the side dishes I am bringing for Thanksgiving. This broccoli side dish is wonderful in flavor and can accompany any meat...not just turkey! Note: Because I was cooking for Thanksgiving dinner, this recipe makes 2 (actually 2 1/2) casserole dishes. If this is too much, just cut the recipe in half. Here is a pictorial step by step guide to making your own. Enjoy!<br />

<b><br /></b><b>The <i>Book</i>!</b><br />
Released just this week, the autobiography of Laura Ingalls Wilder finally found a publisher to tell the tale of the author's pioneering life as she actually experienced it. I haven't had the opportunity to read the book, but if it is as fascinating as her novels I grew up with, I am pretty sure this book will surely please! The <i>made-for-adult </i>book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Girl-The-Annotated-Autobiography/dp/0984504176"><span style="color: orange;"><b>"Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography"</b></span></a> was written by author Laura Ingalls Wilder supposedly back in 1930, but has only recently found a publisher, South Dakota State Historical Society, and is being released this week (actually, November 17, 2014). Wow, talk about a huge time span...eighty-four years!<br />

I found this recipe online and thought I'd try it since I was fascinated with the fact that this biscuit recipe calls for <i>both</i> active dry yeast <i>and</i> buttermilk. Normally, I would reserve using yeast for breads such as yeast rolls, <i>not</i> biscuits; so I was curious as to how these would turn out. Boy oh boy this biscuit recipe was definitely a keeper! Not a lot of fuss with this super simple recipe! Here is a pictorial step by step guide to making your own. Enjoy!<br />

<b><br /></b><b>The <i>Book</i>!</b><br />
I decided to highlight the following award winning book in honor of <b>National Chocolate and Peanut Day</b>, which is today. The book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Bittersweet-Saga-Dark-Light-ebook/dp/B00545H3LU/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1415369750&sr=8-15&keywords=books+chocolate"><span style="color: orange;"><b>"Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light"</b></span></a> (2006) was written by author Mort Rosenblum (he is also author of the award winning book <i>Olives), </i>and published by North Point Press; an imprint of Farrar, Straus and Giroux.<br />

It's the Valentine's Day drug of choice, has more antioxidants than red wine, and triggers the same brain responses as falling in love. Nothing, in the end, can stand up to chocolate as a basic fundament to human life. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In this scintillating narrative, acclaimed foodie Mort Rosenblum delves into the complex world of chocolate. From the mole poblano--chile-laced chicken with chocolate--of ancient Mexico to the contemporary French chocolatiers who produce the palets d'or--bite-sized, gold-flecked bricks of dark chocolate--to the vast empires of Hershey, Godiva, and Valrhona, Rosenblum follows the chocolate trail the world over. He visits cacao plantations, meets with growers, buyers, makers, and tasters, and investigates the dark side of the chocolate trade as well as the enduring appeal of its product. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Engaging, entertaining, and revealing, </span><i style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light</i><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> is a fascinating foray into this "food of the gods."</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 22.400001525878906px;">"</span></span></span><br />

Today is National Chocolate and Peanut Day, so I decided to bake these easy to make cupcakes with a chocolate and peanut butter <i>theme</i> frosting. I am the first one to admit that I am not a huge fan of icing. I am that typical person that you see at parties scraping the stuff off and just eating the cake. So when I set out to frost the cupcakes, I wanted a frosting that was more like a dessert in and of itself. Although I used a store bought brand for the milk chocolate part of the frosting, I made my own peanut butter frosting and then swirled them together to create a delicious topping for the cupcakes; similar in taste to a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Yes, I ate every bit of that swirled frosting along with my daughter who is not a particular fan of frosting either. So if you love the peanut butter and chocolate combination, you will love these simple to make cupcakes. Here is a pictorial step by step guide to making your own. Enjoy!<br />

I made an impromptu stop at my parents house today after coming from an appointment. To my excitement, my dad was making his famous tuna. Okay, maybe just famous in my eyes because I love it so much! The tuna has a tangy taste to it with a slight kick (due to the pickled jalapenos). It is so good! I actually had not planned on creating another blog post so close to the previous one, but I could not resist. Since this is an impromptu post showcasing my dad's tuna recipe, I thought I'd pay homage to him and select a book that features <i>his</i> father; my grandfather, Ernest "Spoon" Carter. My grandfather was a pitcher in the Negro Leagues and played along side Satchel Paige and <br />

<b>The <i>Book</i>!</b><br />
The following Young Adult novel came highly recommended by my fourteen year old daughter; which says a lot considering that she at this stage in her young life thinks that reading is highly overrated...<i>sigh</i>. The book, <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dont-you-dare-read-this-mrs-dunphrey-margaret-peterson-haddix/1003913472?ean=9780689871023"><span style="color: orange;"><b>"Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey"</b></span></a> was written by author Margaret Peterson Haddix in 1996, but has since had a slight makeover and re-released in 2011 by publisher, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.<br />

Although Tish's character in the novel is employed at a burger joint, I opted not to make plain ol' burgers, but rather cook a dish <i>using</i> hamburger meat. This <i>a-typical</i> "Shepherd's Pie" is bursting with flavor, and cheese; that's why I call it, "Not Your Mama's Shepherd's Pie!" Here is a pictorial step by step guide to make your own. Hope you enjoy!<br />

Welcome! This marks the first blog post for <i>Read a Book Take a Bite</i>!<br />

<b>The <i>Book</i>!</b><br />
In honor of the fall season and Halloween, I thought I'd showcase the adorable children's book <a href="http://goopyghost.com/the-goopy-ghost-of-halloween/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>"The Goopy Ghost of Halloween"</b></span></a> by author and friend V. R. Duin.<br />

R. Duin is a fantastically fun rhyming tale that celebrates the goopiest of ghostly goo. When siblings Steven and Sally trace the lines of what can only be described as the fiercest of all pumpkin faces and have their father carve the expression, they never imagine that the goo they toss in the rubbish bin will return to haunt them. A goopy ghost whose “Boo!” includes candy thieving, this ghoul roams the house to find a new house—one that isn't on fire. Absolutely unforgettable, this ghost story is perfect for even the youngest of beginning readers and is sure to become a Halloween classic."</span></span></span><br />
