Dying for Strawberries: www.goodreads.com/book/show/28814992-dying-for-strawberries
Murder at the Blueberry Festival: www.goodreads.com/book/show/59546677-murder-at-the-blueberry-festival
Mango, Mambo, and Murder: www.goodreads.com/book/show/56706291-mango-mambo-and-murder?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_11
Here are the two recipes I made! They were both yummy!
STRAWBERRY SMASH MUFFINS:
1 2/3 cups fresh strawberries, rinsed and stems removed
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line 12 cup muffin tin with liners or grease cups. Smash the strawberries in a large bowl with a fork. Stir in sugar, oil and eggs and mix well. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix until moistened. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes, or until muffins are light golden brown.
BLUEBERRY LEMON BREAD:
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
1 teaspoon lemon juice (for blueberries)
1 teaspoon sugar (for blueberries)
1 tablespoon flour (for blueberries)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional, but adds a nice punch of lemon)
1/2 cup whole milk
For the glaze: (I halved this, and it was plenty)
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare loaf pan. Put blueberries in a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice, sugar and flour. Give a good toss and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until blended. Gradually mix in melted butter, followed by the lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating adding the milk in as well, mix until well blended.
Stir half the blueberries into the batter and quickly pour into loaf pan. Gently spread the rest of the blueberries on top of the batter and place in the oven. Bake 50-60 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.
Make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, melted butter and lemon juice. Pour over cooled loaf and let it set up. Enjoy!

I like butter on my muffins but that peanut butter look good
I love a good cozy mystery! I don’t put anything on my muffins typically. Every now and then I do butter. Those strawberry muffins look yummy. The lemon blueberry bread looks really good too. I love all things lemon. 🍋 Fun vlog!
There is nothing better in my mind than a chocolate dipped strawberry... YUM
YUMMY I love blueberry lemon... well lemon anything but they sound awesome
I have a strawberry obsession too, they remind me of my Grammy!!
Awe I love that! 🍓❤️
I try to be very particular with the cozy I put on my TBR, because I definitely think there are some duds out there! I’m glad you ended up finding some good ones and some delicious recipes! 💛
Girl I need to pay closer attention. 👀🤣
“What do you put on your muffins?” 🤣 ummm, nothing! 🤷♀️😂 but I love that you out peanut butter on them! 😋
😂😂
Diane Chamberlain is one of my favorite authors. I've read 6 of her books and given 5 5 stars. She's so so good. I haven't read a ton of her older ones so I hope that one is good.
Oh yay, glad to hear that! I hope I love it.
@@Julesbooksandthings I hope you do. Happy to recommend her other faves.
wow, such a great reading month!
We don’t talk about DHLE 🙈😂
Girl, I literally have long nails AND a keyboard that is deliberately clickier. It makes me feel productive! 🤣
I also like to read cozies in order!
Okay we need a mom and daughter collab video! 😄👏
I'm sure I could talk Haley into it! 😆
I had never heard of Halotherapy!
Me neither! It was really nice though!
lol Dear Henry Love Edith 😂
🤣🤣
oh and I need to read Live & Let Chai immediately!!!! I have so many books that need to fit prompts because I want to read them asap.
Crossing my fingers they work for the prompts!😆
I DNF'ed Weyward and I really never dnf books. 😂. I considered reading Annie Bot....but maybe not. LOL I just got the Finlay and Sally Hepworth books at the library!! I LOVE the TOG series so much! I read it last year- a book a month and its like one of my all time favs. I loved Just for the Summer!!!!!!
Yay for a good library haul! I hope you love them!
Great Vlog.. and yes we are friends you be you and you're beautiful.
🫶
I'd love to share some of coffee ideas, I do a coconut latte as well with protien shake. We should chat! LOL ☕☕☕
Yes!! ☕️☕️
Gurrrlll PREACH... pale face... red head.. sun HATES me....
I still need to read a Finley Donavan, weyward blows , you read a TON of books, Queen of Shadows, Just For The Summer, & Live and Let Chai! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😆
Wow, what a good month for you! 19 books! I definitely need to check some of these books out
I love the variety that you read, you rock gal! 🎉🎉🎉
Seaside Cafe is the best summer binge!!! If you love this series, Bree Baker is Julie Ann Lindsey, and her Cider Shop series is a lot like the seaside series except fall vibes.
I’ll have to check that out!
Aww your daughter ❤
19 books!!! You go girl! I really enjoyed Weyward, but I also like the time periods that are in the book and the nature elements. I picked it up thinking it was cozy because of the gorgeous cover and found out page 6 it was not, but I still really enjoyed it!
Ha definitely NOT a cozy! 🤣
I’ve been to a salt cave! So fun ❤
It was great! I’ll definitely go again.
Just for the Summer is the BEST ❤
Queen of shadows ❤
I can’t wait to read the mother-in-law ❤
Davola looks scary 😂😂😂
Wendy was like “don’t read Weyward!!!!” Lol
6 cozies 😂
19 books! Wowza ❤
I love your survivor themed thumbnail! 🤭💚
Thank you friend! 🏝️
All the cozies! 🥰
What a great reading month!! I’m looking for a 5 star thriller so maybe I need to check out Darling Girls! Too bad you didn’t like Weyward, but I totally get the reasoning. I love historical settings and witchy/magical books so it was a great fit for me but definitely very heavy and triggering at the same time. And I’m getting major fomo because everyone is loving Just For The Summer! 😂
You should definitely pick up Darling girls!
I love Leslie Meier books I just got back into reading them. My favorite of the month was Darling Girls I think it's my favorite thriller I have read so far this year!
It’s definitely one my favorite thrillers of the year so far. My other fav is Jar of hearts by Jennifer Hillier. I love that you’re reading Leslie Meier! 👏
I read Annie Bot as well and I wasn't toooo impressed with it either.. it was an interesting concept, just not executed as well as it could have been!. Darling Girls was awesome!!!!!! Loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Totally agree! I was intrigued enough to buy it but definitely not executed well. 😬😆
You had a great reading month.
Jules!! I need to read Divine Rivals! So sorry about your power going out! I would not be able to read diavalo. 😂 Your dogs bandana is so cute! 🐶 I don't think I have ever seen color street! intriguing .... I don't think it would be that easy for me. 🤣
My daughter made the dog bandana. She is so talented! Color street is easier than it looks! Yes, pick up Divine Rivals!
•That latte looks so yummy!!! •The fact that you binged Keisha’s bookclub book in one day 😂👏🏻 •that diavalo book looks terrifying 🙈😂 •I still need to read ruthless vows •I’ve tried color street so much and I suck at it 😂😂😂 •do you like my bullet points? 💁🏻♀️😂
I actually love the bullet points! 😂😂
I loved Live and Let Chai 🍓🍑 I just love cozies ❤️
I am so glad you enjoyed it! 👏😊
I prefer to read cozies in order too 📚I use colorstreet nails too ❤love it
That's awesome! I love that for us Andrea! I have no idea how people can pick up a random cozy out of order. 🤣
@@Julesbooksandthings Right 😂
This was such a fun vlog, Jules! ❤ You and your daughter in the car remind me of my daughter and I. 😂 Also, your pup looks like a thinner/younger version of mine! 🤣 She also tends to run up a high vet bill! 🐾😅
Love that we have these things in common! Me and the kiddo are always having the best time! How old is your pup? Mine will be 11 in November. Of our four dogs, she is the healthiest and never had to go to the vet until recently. She's making up for lost time, I guess. 😆
@@Julesbooksandthings How funny! Mine is only 9! 😂 But she had premature graying. She’s had seasonal skin allergies all of her life. 😢
@@bethanysbookshelf LOL that is funny! Yeah, our girl is aging weeelllll! That stinks about the allergies. One of my dogs has severe allergies ALL THE TIME!! He's on an expensive medication for it. So yeah, good times! 😆
Jules! I always get excited when I get to your videos on my watch list. You’re a ray of sunshine always ☀️☀️ and oh you are stacked for June! I hope your survivor readathon has you dipping into your TBR. That food vlog sounds delicious! 😋 Have a fabulous June!!
Awe you are too sweet! Thank you friend! 🫶
Most anticipated read is One Perfect Couple & Leather & Lark ❤
I still need to get to Butcher & Blackbird!
Fruit theme cozy! Woohoo 🎉

Buddy read 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yay for Throne of Glass ❤
It's SO GOOD!!!
