Welcome to eatprayreadlife or epr 2.0

For many many years I have enjoyed sharing book recommendations with friends.  The problem was finding a way to keep track of all the great titles and authors.  The same held true for great recipes, restaurant recommendations, spiritual and emotional guidance and well, all good gifts in life!

Hence, 9 years after launching eatprayread@wordpress.com I invite you to this new incarnation of our shared library. eatprayreadlife.com

I also invite you to subscribe by clicking on the link on the right labeled email subscription.

Food, France, Food

Sarah has recommended, and I have had the pleasure of helping her make Cake aux Lardons et Fromage Bleu from:

The Sweet Life In Paris  by David Lebovitz

le cake, (pronounced “kek” is a savory quick bread hors d’oeuvere or snack, (pronouced “snek”) – jk!

also, via a review on NPR :

“Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes”,  by Elizabeth Bard

If you’re going to pray…

If you’re going to pray, don’t worry. If you’re going to worry, don’t pray.

Thanks to Janet Berkley for these recommended reads:

Do you have a book to recommend here? I’d like to create a variety of loosely tied categories to help us share great reads. So, this first one is called Sunday Prayers and is asking for Inspirational, Spiritual books that have spoken to your soul.
