“Captain No Beard – An Imaginary Tale of a Pirate’s Life” has not only been named to Kirkus Best of 2012, it received the Star of Remarkable Merit, and won the Pinnacle Award for 2012. “Pepper Parrot’s Problem with Patience” Book 2 in the series, received 5 Stars from The ForeWord Review The Clarion Review. It has followed with six more books to the series. Motivated by her love of yoga, Roman has written a book that not only teaches four poses, but shows how easy and accessible yoga can be.

Her new non fiction series, “If You Were Me and Lived in…” combines her teaching past with her love of exploration and interest in the world around us. The debut book in the series, “If You Were Me and Lived in…Mexico” has won the Pinnacle Award for Best in Children’s Non Fiction 2012. France, South Korea, Norway, Kenya and Turkey. They will be followed with India and Australia.

She plans to do Portugal, Greece, and Argentina next year. Writing for children has opened up a whole second act for her. While she is still working in her family business, this has enabled her to share her sense of humor as well as love for history and culture with the audience she adores. Roman lives on Long Island with her husband and near her children.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies #ChocolateParty

Chocolate and more chocolate…

Rich, chewy soft cookies just because. I don’t need a special occasion to celebrate chocolate. but since this month Roxana’s Chocolate Party is celebrating chocolate cookies I brought these along!

I admit I have a weakness for chocolate and no self control. I’ll race anyone to the finish line over a plate of these cookies. The good news is that I don’t do it often, but I feel we all need to indulge once in a while. Are you with me? Good. Here’s the recipe!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups chocolate chips of your choice, regular, mint, extra dark, or mix them up

Directions
Cream together butter and sugars.
Add beaten eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mixture.
Add chocolate chips.
Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes depending on the cookie size.
Keep a close eye on them, double chip seems to burn faster than regular chocolate chip cookies.
