Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! May your day be filled with happiness, love, and peace. And lots and lots of books!

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. A reprint of the famous 1897 Sun Newspaper editorial.
Today we’re serving a Chutney & Cream Cheese Appetizer at Clara and Jacob’s wedding in my current release Home for the Honeymoon. I hope you enjoy it!
It’s time to spend time with family and catch up on writing. So I’m taking a short break from blogging until the New Year!

It’s that time of year again! Time for my End of the Year Ritual that gives me permission to set aside time to so I can reflect on the past, offer gratitude for the present, and dream about the future. And I don’t know of any better way to both end one year and begin a new one.
Apple Cider reductions have been around for centuries. For some, the reductions were turned into alcohol. For others, they used the reductions as vinegars. This time of year, apple cider vinegars are used in all sorts of homemade remedies and syrups.
Although it’s December, there’s still plenty of time to begin planning for meals, guests, and gifts. This post includes two free printables: A Holiday Planning Schedule and a Holiday Meal Portion Planner that you can adapt for your own needs.
