The Language God Talks Audio Book Giveaway (3 Winners)

A while back I had a review and giveaway for the book on this. Now you all know my love of Audio books and have the opportunity to share with you the audio version.

Want to read my previous review go here to check it out. A quick recap from the publisher:

"More years ago than I care to reckon up, I met Richard Feynman." So begins THE LANGUAGE GOD TALKS, Herman Wouk's gem on navigating the divide between science and religion. In one rich, compact volume, Wouk draws on stories from his life as well as on key events from the 20th century to address the eternal questions of why we are here, what purpose faith serves, and how scientific fact fits into the picture. He relates wonderful conversations he's had with scientists such as Feynman, Murray Gell-Mann, Freeman Dyson, and Steven Weinberg, and brings to life such pivotal moments as the 1969 moon landing and the Challenger disaster.

Jalapeno Pop Stars Recipe

As you all know I'm always on the hunt for a great recipe. My favorite ladies over at My Baby Clothes Boutique have been so nice to send me a few of their favorites. And like the good hostess I am I have to share :). Hope you enjoy!

Jalapeno Pop Stars

I have a recipe that's going to make you the Pop Star of the next party. Now I can't take credit for this one, it was my husband's idea. Normally I get on him about his consumption of bacon and cheese, but this time he really popped this one out of the sky. I did tweak the spice part of it to make sure there is a POP every time you pop one of these bad boys into your mouth.

Jalapeno Pop Stars

1 package of center cut bacon

6 large jalapenos

1 brick of Cream Cheese

1 large bunch of chives minced

1 lemon

3 oz fresh lump crab meat

salt and pepper to taste

This really is a simple dish to make anyone rock the kitchen.

• Take the cream cheese out and let it soften while you are preparing the jalapenos.
  

• Slice peppers length ways in half and remove seeds and white membrane, then set aside.
  

• In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese, chives, crab meat, juice from one whole lemon and salt and pepper. Mix well.
  

• With a butter knife, fill the peppers till they are level with the cut side of the pepper with the stuffing.
  

• Take the filled peppers and wrap with bacon. Start by folding one end over the top (where the stem was) of the pepper, overlapping a little bit. Then bring the bacon down and wrap around sideways. As though you are wrapping a blanket around a pig.

• Place on a broil pan. Broil 20 to 30 minutes till bacon is nice a crispy all the way around. A trick to ensure even cooking, place poppers in the oven while it is cold and then start to broil them.
  

I am telling you this will make you a local Rock Star. There won't be a husband or child who won't be proud to say "My mom is a Rock Star in the kitchen!" Or make these for your next date night and you are sure to get things heated up.

Our star chef is Krissy Stark, a farm raised New Yorker. She contributes recipes for an online baby clothes boutique.

ALEXIS NOTES: Some good changes that I have done in the past is use Neufchatel Cheese and Turkey Bacon is always a good sub. I know we're already eating something high in calories but why not cut out some :). Remember to buy your crab in the meat section so you can buy just the right amount and not have waste.

Branson Missouri Here I come, I'll be staying at the Hilton!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

Can you tell it's summer time and I'm dying to go on vacation? This year as you know is tight for us but I know some of you are pulling out your hair by now with the kids home and needing a place to go to that will be fun for the whole family!

I've found a great place that would make everyone in this family happy. Branson Missouri has so many attractions and even better they have a Hilton, not just one but TWO to choose from. They have the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel and Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. Let me just say I'm in love and Branson and the of course how can one go wrong with the Hilton?

I would love to stay at The Promenade Just check out that photo isn't that gorgeous! It just screams come stay here! I headed over to the Specials & Packages page and boy do they have some deals you can choose from. The one that caught my eye was if you book by July 15th you could get 25% yes 1/4 off the cost of your getaway. P.S. it also comes with breakfast! SCORE!! Need a little more time no worries you can get 20% off if you book in advance online! Can you plan 3 months in advance? Even better you can get 30% off your choice of Exotic Hilton worldwide Resorts!

While you're in Branson I have planned out your trip, what a little OCD of me? Well you'll thank me I promise I did all the research for you!

Things to do:

• Check out the Gym ... What I always promise I'll at least check it out!
• Hit the Car Museum ... that one is for Rick
• Titanic Museum ... This one really is on my top list!
• Ripleys Believe it or Not Museum ... The boys would get the biggest kick out of this
• Butterfly Park ... This is one for mom, well the boys would like it I'm just afraid for the butterflies.
• Silver Creek Amusement Park ... Fun for the Whole Fam!
• The night light show ... Almost like Vegas with out the crazy street people.
• Candy Store ... of course we need to have treats!
• Concerts Shows ... This may be a good time to find a babysitter.

You'll enjoy every minute of course there is more sites to see but these are my favorite and Mother always knows best right? Hehe

Nothing is better than a great vacation at a GREAT hotel, not one you'll see on any 20/20 special! And close to so many attractions that are sure to please everyone!

Some Mild Frustration!

Proof I did it

Yes its a small pic for a reason.

NOT a pretty shot, thanks Rick!
