Christmas is almost here. The tree is decorated, the presents are wrapped and cookies have been baked. I can hardly believe how this year has flown by.

This has been a busy writing year and I am happy to announce that Their Ranch Reunion, the first in my new series entitled Rocky Mountain Heroes will be out in August 2017, with the second yet-to-be-titled book releasing in December.

But as we approach this most blessed time of year, I wanted to take a moment to wish all of you the merriest of Christmases and give a you a very special gift. One of my all-time favorite holiday recipes that everyone around you can share in.

holiday-scentChristmas scent is so easy. Even if you rarely set foot in your kitchen, you can have your entire house smelling like the holidays.

Christmas scent consists of :

3 (4 inch) cinnamon sticks

3 bay leaves

1/4 cup whole cloves

half of a lemon

half of an orange

1 quart of water

Bring all ingredients to a boil; reduce heat and simmer as long as you like, adding more water as necessary. People will think you’ve been cooking up a storm. 🙂

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
