Welcome Winter
2025 certainly did come in along with the Polar Vortex. Here in Southern New England, we have no snow but plenty of cold. And I truly do not mind.
​
I do enjoy the cold. It feels crisp and clean, as if Mother Nature has opened all the windows, letting in the fresh and frosty air with a cleansing blast of winter. Sort of like ushering out the old year, and bringing in the new. That's how I like to perceive winter--a time of rest, reflection, and relaxation. It's the respite that we all need before the excitement of spring and summer begin again.
​
And one way I love to spend my winter is baking. I'll be including what I have been up to in the kitchen along with recipies, which I hope you'll try and enjoy as you spend your days wintering. Happy Winter to all!

She's the perfect Mrs. Claus...or is she?
The Perfect Mrs. Claus
Fifty-three-year-old Savannah Brady is far from perfect and recently widowed, walking through life like a zombie, merely existing. When her son moves to Switzerland for a job opportunity, she is left alone for the first time in her life.
On an autumn afternoon like any other, Savannah ambles to her favorite lunchtime haunt, Howardson’s Emporium, to browse the Halloween sale aisles and reminisce about the past, when a chance encounter with a store employee changes her life in ways she never thought possible. Now she must become the Perfect Mrs. Claus, an occasion that will bring a chance for romance, all within the charm of a Christmas wonderland where holiday dreams and wishes really can come true.
