Easter is just around the corner, it’s time to think about what you will be eating, right? I’m a vegetarian and do most of the cooking at home, so at our house, we skip the lamb and ham and usually go Italian with my vegetarian lasagna. It’s so good, and it’s the recipe that my husband asks for most often for special occasions from Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and yep Easter too. Enjoy!

There’s fowl play afoot on the farm
Shiloh Bellamy has saved her family’s farm from financial ruin—but now what? She’s barely scraping by on the farm’s new organic business model and the fall festival she organized to drum up business comes to a screeching halt when the body of a prominent townswoman is discovered underneath a scarecrow in a nearby field. Worst of all, the evidence points to Shiloh’s childhood best friend, Kristy, as the prime suspect.
Between cooking up delicious treats made with her farm’s produce, convincing her cantankerous father to let her do things her own way, and dealing with a newcomer in town who could be serious competition for her customers, Shiloh doesn’t have time to wade into a murder investigation. But with a killer on the loose and suspicious activity circling closer and closer to Shiloh and the people she loves, she realizes there’s nothing to do but roll up her sleeves and get down to the dirty work of finding the killer and clearing Kristy’s name once and for all.
Happy reading! ❤
