Looking In The Window: Big Book Sale, Strawberry Brownies And A Giant-Sized Lemon



Summer's here. These are the days of good books and lemonade. 

I'm sending a virtual giant-sized lemon grown on my friend's farm in Florida, but the Strawberry Brownie recipe below and the .99 book sale are real for a limited time.



About the Books



Stopped Cold, a young adult mystery, is a great summer read or back-to-school gift. A Grace Awards Finalist, Stopped Cold finished 4th in the 16th Annual Preditors and Editors Readers Poll.(It's for young-at-heart adults too.)

Flirting, swimming, fun with friends, it all changed when Margaret's brother, Sean, suffered a stroke.

Mountain of Love and Danger is a Re-told Fairy Tale

(Jack And The Beanstalk)

Jack's girlfriend's taken to a mountain accessible only by helicopter. He must scale the treacherous precipice and rescue her from the huge man holding her captive.

From readers' Amazon reviews:

From the first page to the last page of this book, the reader is brought into a mysterious, dangerous, quick-paced adventure.

If you're looking for an enjoyable story that's able to help you fend off reality for a while--this is the one.

Fantasy? Sure, and we need that in our world today. Suspense? You betcha! Romance? Yep, it is in there too. Adventure? Oh my, yes? Throw in some Christian inspiration, and you have a wonderful read.

Strawberry Brownies


1 box cake mix (without pudding in the mix)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/2 - 1 tsp. extract (optional)

You can use different flavors of cake mix and vary the flavors of extract. Vanilla for strawberry brownies and almond for white or lemon cake mix brownies.

Mix together box of cake mix, eggs and oil well. (It’s thick. I used my mixer)
Spray an 8 x 8 pan or use parchment paper (The batter is thick and sticky). Spread evenly.
Bake 350 degrees for 17 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Do not overbake.
(I used a toothpick to see if it came out of the center clean with no batter on it)

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 - 2 tabl. water (lemon or lime juice)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

Before I do that, I’d like to take just a moment and thank Gail for inviting me to her blog. It’s an honor and a joy to be here! A little about me, hmm? Well, I have brown eyes and blondish hair, I’m 5’1” tall, and weigh…. Thank the Lord those tidbits aren’t what you’re looking for! My dad worked for the Veterans Administration, so the family lived in a slew of cities. I held a myriad of careers to pay my way through school, and all that working and moving is probably responsible for my ability to talk to just about anybody, anywhere.
