This week we’re giving a sugary shout-out to No Bake Makery. The DIY approach to baking (as-in, Do-It-Yourself…without an oven!) illustrated in her new book caught our eye, and our sweet tooth…so we decided to take one of the recipes for a spin. Tie on a vintage apron and channel your inner June Cleaver to whip up this modern take on a classic warm weather treat! 

To create: Pour a pack of gelatin into a small bowl filled with 3 tbps of water; let mixture sit for 2 minutes. Combine 3/4 cup each of raspberries, blueberries, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook ingredients over medium-low heat. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, stir in the gelatin mixture and let dissolve, before removing from heat. Cool to room temperature. Next, use an electric mixer to mix 2 cups of heavy cream in a large bowl. Mix until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the berry mixture in with the cream. Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil and nonstick spray, then line with wafer cookies. Pour the mousse mixture into the pan evenly, then vertically insert the remaining cookies. Cover with saran wrap and freeze overnight. Peel away the plastic wrap then slice and serve!

Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin

simonschusterca:

The Walkers are hiding something. Their son Max is special. Max is intersex. When a childhood friend steps out of his past and abuses his trust in the worst possible way, Max is forced to consider the nature of his well-kept secret. Why won’t his parents talk about it? Will his friends accept him if he is no longer the Golden Boy? And the biggest one of all, the question he has to look inside himself to answer: Who is Max Walker, really?

Author of the successful Cork O’Connor detective series, Minnesota writer Krueger has no shortage of fans, but with Ordinary Grace he is poised to increase his following. Though this is a stand-alone novel, Krueger stays true to his roots, producing a thoughtful literary mystery that is wholly compelling and will appeal to fans of Dennis Lehane and Tom Franklin. Writing with aching clarity, Krueger deftly shows that even in life’s moments of unimaginable sadness there is beauty to be found. Don’t take the title too literally, for Krueger has produced something that is anything but ordinary. (via The end of childhood comes with a bang | BookPage)
