Today ‘s Book Club Monday is a book by one of my favorite people, Maria Schriver. I admire Maria so much. I have followed her career for ages, so when I saw her new book, I knew I had to get it right away. I’ve Been Thinking……Reflections, Prayers and Meditations for a Meaningful Life is a book for people who are looking for wisdom, guidance and encouragement. I have been listening to the audio book that is narrated by Maria herself and I am in love. It is fabulous and so inspirational!!! Here is the summary:
As a prominent woman juggling many roles, Maria Shriver knows just how surprising, unpredictable, and stressful everyday life can be.
In this moving and powerful book, she shares inspiring quotes, prayers, and reflections designed to get readers thinking, get them feeling, get them laughing, and help them in their journey to what she calls The Open Field–a place of acceptance, purpose, and passion–a place of joy.
I’ve Been Thinking . . . is ideal for anyone at any point in her life. Whether you feel like you’ve got it all together or like it’s all falling apart–whether you’re taking stock of your life or simply looking to recharge, this is the book you will turn to again and again.

The college crowd is back this weekend….you know what that means….cooking around the clock. I love to use my Slow Cooker for as many meals as I can. I was on Pinterest and found this YUMMY recipe. It looks like a real crowd pleaser. Now all I need to do is add ice cream!!! Bon Appetit!!!!
- 1 box fudge brownie mix
- 2/3 cup oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1 (12 ounce jar) hot fudge sauce
- Grease a large slow cooker very liberally with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, oil, 1/4 cup water, and eggs until combined. Pour into the prepared slow cooker.
- Whisk together the hot fudge sauce and hot water. (Feel free to use the same bowl you mixed the brownie mix in without cleaning it out). Pour over the brownie batter. Top with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- The brownies will be gooey in the center at the end of cooking (though the edges should be fully set). Scoop out and serve with a spoon and top with ice cream.
