Teaser Tuesday


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read

  • Open to a random page

  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


“She left her chocolate cake recipe to the town,” he said, and he smiled. “A damn recipe. And you know what, they were as excited at the newspaper when I took that recipe in as if it were Christmas and I’d brought them a map to Jimmy Hoffa’s body.”

Cheeseburger Casserole

I don't have a picture but it was YUMMY!!

Brown the meat, I did a pound but next time I would do at least 1.5, drain, then put in a casserole dish and season to your liking

Next, I cut up 1 pickle and mixed that in. I only did one because Ethan doesn't like pickles

Then mix together 3 eggs, 3/4 cup bisquick, and 1 1/2 cups milk then pour over the beef and pickles

Cook at 400 for 25 - 30 minutes cover the top with shredded cheese and then cook until cheese is melted
