Sue's Diner: Bertrand's Birthday Mix

This week's recipe for Bertrand's Birthday Mix is featured in the BryonySeries cookbook Squeak! Twelve Mouse-Themed Recipes.

We gave away chef-made batches of Bertrand's Birthday Mix last Saturday at The Book Market in Crest Hill as part of Bertrand's Back-To-School Birthday Bash. (Recap is coming Thursday).

Bertrand the Mouse is a red herring in the BryonySeries novel Staked! He is also now a crocheted (amigurumi) mouse with his own book series and Instagram page.

Rebekah Baran created this cookbook when she was laid off in 2020. She says this recipe is "the kibbles mix all crocheted mice love." 

People probably like it, too. Even when it isn't their birthday. It's colorful, fun and easy to make - and it's perfect for this time of year: bits of color mixed in with snowy white.

You can try the recipe for Bertrand's Birthday Mix on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

All proceeds from "Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles From 'Bryony'" benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties at bbbswillgrundy.org.
