Here is the blurb. Enjoy!
THE ST. GEORGE SPECTRUM Dr. Trenton Hendricks was last seen Friday, April 8, when he set out alone on a backpacking trip. Hendricks's Jeep Grand Cherokee was located Tuesday at the Chuckwalla Trailhead, but after six days and thousands of man-hours, the official search has been called off. He is presumed to be deceased. It was supposed to be a girls' weekend in scenic St. George, Utah, that would include shopping, trying out the local cuisine, and participating in a breast cancer fund-raiser. The fact that one of the organizers of the fund-raising event, a local doctor, had disappeared two months before was not supposed to be Sadie's problem. When Sadie learns that her friend Caro and Caro's cousin, Tess, have started a grassroots investigation into Dr. Hendricks's disappearance, Sadie graciously refused to be a part of it. With her wedding to plan and her most recent case still fresh in her mind, Sadie is determined to leave this case to the police--until she meets the ex-wife of the missing man. How could she not ask a few questions . . . that lead to more questions . . . that lead to a small town and even more questions! When the local police ask her to be their eyes and ears, Sadie can't help but jump in with both feet. Before she knows it, she is on the rocky road of another investigation, following a convoluted trail of good intentions, hidden motivations, and philanthropy turned big business.
So your family is in for a treat if you are going to try out a whole bunch of fudge and brownie recipes!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed a definite difference in making fudge here at sea level V. making it at altitude--creamier, richer, and faster!
This is one of my favorites! I can't make them too often because I EAT them. Ha!

The absolute best recipe for brownies in the entire world is the King Arthur Flour brownie recipe. The two things that make this AMAZING are:
ReplyDelete1. They use cocoa powder AND melted chocolate to get better chocolate flavor than cocoa powder alone.
2. They make the crinkly top you get from boxed brownies.

It's a lot of work, but worth it.

Makes 24, but sharing is totally optional.
This is the BEST and it can be made with any brownie recipe, so make a box of Betty Crocker brownies or your favorite. The minute they come out of the oven, toss 2 cups chocolate chips and 2 cups of miniature marshmallows on top (1 Cup chopped walnuts is optional). Throw it right back into the oven for 2 minutes, then take it out to let cool. If it's Christmas time, then sprinkle some crushed bits of candy cane on top. So pretty! So delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI love Josi's books.

During the Christmas season I stir in crushed peppermint candies.
This isn't my recipe, but I always love the recipes this girl shares: http://lilluna.com/candy-corn-pretzel-fudge/
ReplyDeleteActually, don't worry about my entry anymore. I noticed I missed the deadline, and I was given the book from someone else. Thanks for the giveaway, though.
