    Reaching out to Best Selling Authors E.L. James, S.L. Scott, Lauren Kate, Ruth Clampett, Aimee Agresti and more, Nollie Marie rallies those who write, to help those in need.
    As an American, we have seen many national disasters. Earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, mudslides, tornadoes. And sadly we've also seen many horrible evils that have taken many lives as well.  These all effect our lives worldwide.With recent outbreak of tornadoes in the Southern plains and Midwest, I didn't want to feel helpless. Being a Texan, I've seen first hand the devastation that can be caused by a tornado. As a child, we practiced tornado drills. At home, there have been scary nights were I have taken shelter in my bathroom, listening to a faint sound of wail of a siren going off near by. Nothing is more hopeless than knowing that strength of Mother Nature and her destruction.
    Hear how you can win signed books from best selling authors to help the Red Cross help those in need.

  • Pati Jinich PBS Celebrity Chef
    With her PBS show a hit, Pati's Mexican Table, Pati Jinich stops by to share tips from her new cookbook and turn us into authintic Mexican cooks!
    Born and raised in Mexico City, chef Pati Jinich is on a mission to show the United States that real Mexican home cooking is not at all what we've come to expect.
    Pati introduces readers to fresh and exciting ingredients, cooking techniques, and recipes, many of which are not well known outside of Mexico. Contrary to popular belief, these dishes are not all spicy, meaty or covered in heavy cheese-far from it!  And the ingredients are shockingly easy to find on supermarket shelves.
    Pati Jinich is the official chef of the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C. She is a regular guest in the national media, including The Today Show, The Chew, Fox News, NPR and The Splendid Table.  She hosts live programs for the Smithsonian Institution and has cooked at Blair House, the offical guest house for the President of the United States.
    Now in its 3rd season on PBS, Pati's Mexican Table, is fun to watch, with easy to make at home, traditional Mexican food.
