I take a nap or exercise. Sometimes, I'll wait a couple of days before returning to a document. Time helps--you never know when inspiration will hit.

Working from home, being independent, being creative. Inspiring others.

Write, write, write. Be persistent. Don't take rejection personally (I've experienced rejection countless times). Try to come up with your competitive advantage--what makes you unique.

I'm always inspired to write. I have so many ideas...which I need to get out there. As far as recipe development goes, I'm perpetually eager to turn my concepts into actual recipes and to experiment in my kitchen.

I eat vegetarian most of the time, which prompted the overall concept of my most recent book, Meatless All Day. I also love LOTS of flavor, so made sure to only include exciting, high-impact recipes.
My next book, Mug Meals, is coming out this March. It's full of delicious, easy recipes made in a mug in the microwave! Since I have two young kids, this idea was also right up my alley!
Finally, I've discovered that I have mild lactose intolerance, so I rely on homemade (and, sometimes) storebought alternative milks, hence the idea for the book I'm working on now: The New Milks.

I'm currently writing a cookbook about alternative milks: coconut, grain, legume, nut, and seed. It's coming out in March 2016.
