Robbie Terman‘s Pumpkin Casserole

Who tried it: Robbie Terman, author of Some Like it Spicy

Why she likes it:

In Some Like It Spicy, Chef Ashton Grey specializes in comfort food. One of my favorite comfort food recipes is a pumpkin casserole. No matter the time of year, I always get requests for it.

Pumpkin Casserole

2 cups pumpkin puree

1 cup evaporated milk

1 cup white sugar

½ cup self-rising flour

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

½ cup butter

1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degree F
Combine all the ingredients. Spoon into a casserole dish.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

With all that extra time not spent in the kitchen, what’s Robbie currently reading?

I loved the TV show Firefly and I’m still bummed it was only one season. I just recently learned of an original novel that is set in the world with the same cast of characters! I picked up “Big Damn Hero” by James Lovegrove and I can’t wait to get reading…at least until the show gets a reboot (please, please, please!).

Ashton Grey’s restaurant, Sweet Home, is in trouble. Months of empty tables have left her and her partners near bankruptcy, and her father’s prediction of her failure as a chef seems imminent. But a chance encounter could provide Ashton with the publicity she needs to save her restaurant—if the fiery chef is willing to compete on a reality cooking show. But in order to win, she needs to stay focused. No problem…until she meets the head judge.

Celebrity chef Ty Cates is ready to get away from the camera and back to the kitchen where he belongs. Performing as head judge on a reality show is just one more commitment he’d like to get out of, especially after he meets Ashton. Head judges dating contestants is about as taboo as putting ketchup on filet mignon, but from the moment they meet, there’s a simmering heat between them that neither can ignore.

As the competition heats up, they rely on sneaking around, stealing amazing night after amazing night together when the cameras aren’t rolling. When both realize what’s starting to feel like love could easily be a recipe for disaster, Ashton and Ty need to make a choice—get out of the kitchen or turn up the heat.

Robbie Terman began her journey as a writer in third grade, when she completed her first (24-page) “novel.” Many years later, she is published in contemporary romance. Her heroines are feisty, her heroes Hot (yup, that’s with a capital H!). And, when you read her books, if you cry a little and laugh a lot, that’s just the reaction she was hoping for. When she’s not writing, Robbie can usually be found doing one of three things: shopping for shoes and handbags at Nordstrom; trying a new restaurant (or attempting a new recipe); or relaxing on the couch and catching up on her favorite television programs.
