A RECIPE & GIVEAWAY
with author
Jennifer L. Hart

I'm so thrilled to be hosting author 
Jennifer L. Hart


Jennifer writes the 
Misadventures of the Laundry Hag series, the 
Damaged Goods Mystery series, and many wonderful stand alone titles.

I'm so happy to be introducing her newest series, 
the Southern Pasta Shop Mystery series, 
beginning with Book 1 
MURDER AL DENTE 


Pretty please with spaghetti on top? 
Andy Buckland has always dreamed of being a chef. But after a live studio audience is stricken with food poisoning during her debut cooking show, she finds herself blacklisted in the culinary community. The only job open to her is working in her family's southern pasta shop, and, to make matters worse, her first assignment is serving baked ziti to her former lover and his spoiled bride-to-be at their engagement party! But a broken heart and a bruised ego are the least of Andy's troubles when she discovers a dead body at the party with the words "welcome home" written in flour next to it. Is it a warning? A threat? Or a frame-up job? Andy is determined to find out. With the help of her over-the-top Italian family, Andy will prove that she has what it takes to not only cook the best dish in town but also catch a killer, too! 
Recipes included!

STUFF
What? No, really, that's what Jennifer calls it. See.... 

"Yes, I really call it stuff because it’s such a hodgepodge of, well stuff! This quirky dish is colorful, protein rich and tasty to boot! A great way to get picky eaters to eat spinach. Full of iron and best of all is a one pot meal that you can make in ten minutes!" Jennifer

STUFF

1 lb of egg noodles
1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
1 egg
4 Tbsp Cream Cheese

Sprinkling Parmesan cheese
