It's
Cozy Food Friday

That means it's time to share a recipe from 
another great cozy mystery!

Today I'm featuring a recipe from
CUSTOM BAKED MURDER
Book 5 in the Pawsitively Organic Mysteries
by
Liz Mugavero


Kristan “Stan” Connor gladly turned tail on her high-flying job and moved to a quaint New England town to sell organic pet treats. But with her nose for solving murders, there’s no such thing as a quiet life…
 
Summer is winding down in Frog Ledge, Connecticut, but Stan’s love life and career are both heating up nicely. In between planning her new pet patisserie and cafĂ©, Stan is settling into living-in-bliss with sexy pub owner Jake McGee. Love’s on the menu for Stan’s mom, Patricia, too, who’s engaged to Frog Ledge’s mayor, Tony Falco.
 
Mayor Falco’s dogged ambition isn’t popular among locals, but it’s his executive coach, Eleanor Chang, who’s inspired a dangerous grudge. When Eleanor is found dead, there’s a whole pack of suspects to choose from. Stan has first-hand experience of Eleanor’s unsavory business tactics. But finding out who forced her to take a fatal plunge off the corporate ladder means unearthing some shady secrets…and a killer who’s too close for comfort.

About Liz


Liz Mugavero is the author of the Pawsitively Organic Mysteries. The first book, Kneading to Die, is a 2013 Agatha nominee for Best First Novel. The series includes A Biscuit, A Casket, The Icing on the Corpse, and Murder Most Finicky. 

Liz has been writing stories since she could hold a pen. Before that, she would tell them to anyone who would listen (not many at the time). After deciding early on she would write books for a living, she practiced by writing bad, angst-filled poems, short stories and even a storyline for a soap opera--all by age 15. She never wavered from her goals despite all the usual questions including, "So are you going to be an English teacher with that degree in English?" or, "That writing thing sounds nice, but how are you REALLY going to make a living?"

She went on to get a master's in writing and publishing and spent time in journalism, PR, communications and presently, marketing. And she's confident this writing thing IS the way to make a living.

Aside from writing, she loves animals (has a houseful), the beach, reading other writers' masterpieces and Starbucks coffee.

ON TO THE RECIPE! 

Blueberry Biscuits


FOR DOGS!


Ingredients:

1½ cup wheat flour
2/3 cup oatmeal​
¼ cup flax seed meal
1 cup blueberries
½ cup vanilla greek yogurt
½ cup water


Directions:

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix well. 

Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon size amounts of mixture onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes.
Cookies may be dehydrated for a longer shelf life. Flax seed is great for good skin and coat health.


I have got to try these out for my pup Emmy!

MURDER MOST FINICKY
Book 4 in the Pawsitively Organic Mystery series


The dog days of summer have arrived in the small town of Frog Ledge, Connecticut, and business is booming for Kristan "Stan" Connor. Her Pawsitively Organic pet food has even caught the attention of celebrity pastry chef Sheldon Allyn, who helps Stan open a fancy pet pastry shop in Frog Ledge. A partnership is born, and Sheldon invites Stan to Newport, Rhode Island, for an appreciation weekend he's hosting for all his independent chefs. But the gourmet getaway turns sour when one of the chefs turns up dead, and a second one goes missing. . . 

As Stan tries to figure out who had a recipe for murder, the pool of suspects expands. And if she can't sniff out the culprit soon, this killer may just serve up a second helping of murder. . .

My Book Beginning

"Ouch. The blindfold's too tight." Stan Connor reached up to adjust the scarf digging into her eyes and wondered why on earth she'd agreed to this.

My Friday 56

The ugly side to public relations. It was all fun and games until scandal hit. She knew it all to well---she'd lost her own job to a scandal.
