Sweet Treats Werewolves Love–Blueberry and Lemon Cheesecake #recipe @KryssieFortune

Author Kryssie Fortune is here today to tell us about sweet treats werewolves lover, including Blueberry and Lemon Cheesecake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ever wondered how to feed a werewolf? Sure, they love fresh meat, preferably raw, but they love cake. Ellie Padget, heroine of my latest book To Wed a Werewolf spent two years baking for the Lykae Army.

Who knew Werewolves had a sweet tooth?

Quote

When Joel took a wife, she’d never expect him to mark her as his mate. He still wanted her smoking hot behind closed doors. Probably not as hot as his little Ellie, but he couldn’t allow himself to think that way. Doomed, damn relationship, remember?

Whatever just happened between them, it was over and done. He didn’t even regret screwing her. Sex with Ellie was primal and savage, a need that burned through his psyche He’d fuck her again in an instant, but his best option was to put some distance between them, fast.

When he married, he’d need a strong woman at his side—one who would watch his back while he watched hers. Let’s face it; Ellie’s weapon of choice is a cheesecake.

To Mate a Werewolf by Kryssie Fortune

Blurb

The scars on Ellie Padget’s cheek are a constant reminder of the times she tried to escape from sexual slavery. Two years ago, Joel—alpha in waiting of the Tundra-Tough pack—led the rescue party that freed her. She’s loved him ever since.

Their relationship finally explodes into steaming sex, but he offers to pay her off. She walks away with her head high and her heart shattered. When she learns of a plot to destroy Joel and his pack, her only option is return to his side and warn him.

Joel has to fight to retain the pack that should be his by right, and no one can leave until the pack has a new alpha. He’s horrified when Ellie turns up on the night he’s to meet the woman he’s agreed to marry but never met. She’s stuck there until he claims his birthright. Finally, he realizes Ellie’s his true mate. Now he has to choose between his arranged marriage, and the one woman he truly loves. Will he choose with his head or his heart?

To Mate a Werewolf is a stand alone story within the Scattered Siblings series.

Kryssie, thanks for sharing about your book and thanks to Katie Furlong for the recipe. My, that looks delicious!

I can’t say I’m surprised to learn that werewolves like sweets. I’ve never known a dog who didn’t, and they are canines, too. My mom and dad’s Chihuahua used to raid the strawberry bed in the backyard. What do you think? Leave a comment below.

Today is the last day to enter this month’s Rafflecopter for a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card and a copy of Vicki Batman’s Man Theory…and Other Stories. I’m also throwing in a 2015 mouse pad. Don’t be shy! Enter.

A New World of Food: Happy #Thanksgiving #recipe

Roasted Turkey On Harvest Table - c. evgenyb

Roasted Turkey On Harvest Table – c. evgenyb

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, if only for the wonderful food. And as a history freak, I love that so much of the traditional Thanksgiving food are native to the Americas.

The food supply expanded when Europeans “discovered” the New World. Prior to Columbus’s first voyage, there were no turkeys, potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, cranberries or maize, i.e. Indian corn, in the Middle Ages. There was a cereal grain called corn, but it’s more like wheat, not like the ears of corn we’re used to.

holiday pumpkinAnd there was no chocolate. Chocolate is native to the Americas, so the Spaniards were the first Europeans to encounter it. It became popular at court after the Spanish added sugar or honey to sweeten the natural bitterness. From there, chocolate spread through Europe in the 1600’s and grew into the international obsession is has become today.

Can you imagine a world without chocolate? I really wouldn’t like that at all!

Nor would I like a world without pumpkins or cranberries, two of my favorite ingredients for fall goodies. I even came up with my own recipe for a cranberry salad.

Lyndi’s Cranberry-Blueberry Delight

Here’s my original recipe:

Lyndi’s Cranberry-Blueberry Delight

Ingredients:
1 14 oz. can of Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
1 package of fresh blueberries (about 4 oz.)
1 cup of golden raisins

Mix, chill and serve. That’s it!

The recipe serves 8-10 ladies. (The attached photo doesn’t reflect the full recipe. It’s what is left over after a couple of days of snacking on it.) I’ve also spread it on turkey sandwiches in lieu of regular cranberry sauce.

Since it’s so simple, it’s easy to experiment. Add nuts for crunch or sweeten to taste, if it’s too tart. I’m thinking about adding some of those little marshmallows next time for color and sweetness.

I’ve been dieting for months and I’ve lost sixteen pounds so far, but I won’t be counting calories on Thanksgiving Day.

Wishing you all a Happy Turkey Day! What’s your favorite Thanksgiving treat?
