Happy National Sticker Day

Do I love stickers? You bet I do! I have them on my car. I have them on my laptop. I have them on the cart for my books. I love that they’re colorful, and they often help commemorate a fun event or special place. I love them so much, I even had some made up for some of my series that I give out at book events. Maybe I’ll include some of them in this month’s VIP Newsletter Giveaway! What do you think? P.S. If you do audiobooks, many of my books, like COLD CASE K-9, are on audiobook and even better, they are currently on sale for 99 cents. Download your audiobook at https://amzn.to/4bt24fg.

Tasty Ambrosia for National Ambrosia Day

Happy National Ambrosia Day! Ambrosia is one of those desserts that screams 1950s to me. It also reminds me of my mom since, in the summer months, she’d regularly make it! I never got the recipe from her, but I remember she used cream cheese in her version, and based on that, I came up with my own version of it! P.S. Nothing to do with ambrosia, but don’t wait—grab your of COLD CASE K-9 and join Gabriella, Diego, and Poppy on the hunt! Pre-order your copy today at https://amzn.to/48qzo4R.

Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pint sour cream
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can diced/sliced peaches, reserve the juice
1 can diced/crushed pineapple, reserve the juice
1 can fruit cocktail, drained
2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

Place cream cheese in a large bowl. Add the juice from the can of sliced peaches to soften the cream cheese. Add the sour cream and stir. Add the fruit and marshmallows and stir. If the mixture seems too thick, use some of the pineapple juice to loosen it up, but not too much. Also, remember that the marshmallows will also thicken it again once it’s chilled. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour or two.

Happy National Brownie Day

Happy National Brownie Day! Although no one made brownies for yesterday’s cookie exchange, it’s not because we don’t love them! We do! I love fudgy brownies with a crispy edge. I even have one of those pans that lets you have edges on each brownie! What about blondies? I confess I rarely order blondies. They don’t call to me as much as regular brownies. What about you? Would you pick a brownie or a blondie? P.S. Please help a girl out by pre-ordering COLD CASE K-9 at https://amzn.to/41V8fCA. These non-Christmas holiday releases are really hard. Sigh.
