Sanity By Dessert: Could your recipe be in my next book?
Do you have a dessert recipe that's so good, it deserves to be in published? Learn how your recipe could be featured in Jackie Hennessey's next book!
I managed to polish off a jar of dark chocolate covered almonds the other day. It took a couple days, but I did it. In my mind, it’s all good. It wasn’t a candy bar. Or a Ho Ho. Or a piece of Death by Chocolate Cake. Yes, I’m a chocoholic. When it’s not in my pantry, I tend to get a little desperate. Some people have their issues. I’m addicted to chocolate. Thankfully, I eat healthy otherwise. I exercise at least four times a week too. But if I don’t have chocolate every day, you honestly don’t want to be around me. I get a little, how do I put this nicely? Cranky. I once tried to go cold turkey. Eight hours later, my daughter found me shoveling down crumbs from a bag of chocolate chips. It wasn’t pretty. So this is where you come in.
I invite you to share your favorite dessert recipe for my next book. I’m writing another book with more mommy whines and recipes! To help spread MORE sanity to moms! Rather than cheese dip, the recipes featured in this book will be DESSERTS. If you have a dessert recipe you’d like to share, one that you like to indulge in when you get together with friends and family, please email me today at jackie@ventingsessions.com. I welcome recipe entries through August 30.
Please note, it does NOT have to have chocolate in the ingredients. But your recipe does have to be sweet. It could be healthy too! Please make sure to put Mommy Desserts in the Subject. Send in your recipe & it could be chosen for my next book! And you could win a signed copy of my book, How to Spread Sanity on a Cracker. And please include your name and email address. If you wish to remain anonymous, please indicate that in your email. Deadline for dessert recipe entries is August 30.

Also - I’m still accepting mommy story entries for my next book. And because I’m a sucker for moms with busy schedules, I’m extending the deadline for “Mommy Insanity” entries to August 30! Remember, YOUR story could be featured in my next book. Please send your entry to jackie@ventingsessions.com. Include MOMMY INSANITY in the subject line. No entries over 1,000 words. (The shorter, the wittier, the better.) Think back to an experience that you’ll NEVER forget. Something that makes you laugh today. Something that can help other moms feel a little less insane. Please make sure to include your name and e-mail address. Good luck!
