The Christmas Bake Off With Innocent Husband

Innocent Husband and I had a Christmas Bake Off.

If you want to vote on which one looks tastier, go to my facebook page.

For the record, Darling Laughing Son, Adventurous Singing Daughter, and Rebel Dancing Daughter have told me that I must tell YOU that the Snowwoman was made with a box mix and bought icing. They’re getting rather picky over here. The chocolate delights were made from scratch.

So. Ho Ho Ho. Which one looks better?

 Merry, Merry Christmas!

Christmas Dessert Bake Off With Innocent Husband

Innocent Husband and I are having our annual Lamb Family Christmas Dessert Cook Off.

He’s baking while our little elves sleep upstairs. It’s gotten a little competitive over here in his quest for a Christmas win.

So far he has accused me of, and I quote, “Using guerrilla tactics to win…sabotaging my cooking…subversive behaviors…outright and unethical use of cake mix…hiding the mixer…hiding the mixer thingies…using all the vanilla…I’m supposed to have cream cheese at room temperature and you freeze it, Cathy… I don’t know what else you’re gonna do…”

Merry Christmas from the Lambs! Hopefully no cakes will be thrown by the end of this (fun) competition.

Will show dessert photos later!

Need A Free Christmas Story?

This one is free on Barnes and Nobles nook for a little while. A very little while.

(Summary below for those of you who need a short and sweet Christmas story set in Montana.)

Meredith Ghirlandaio has a little too much going on this Christmas season. She’s running a Bed and Breakfast in snowy Telena, Montana, and her sister’s rebellious/withdrawn children have come to live with her because their mother has run off, her “spirit crushed, her inner-soul crying for freedom.” In addition, Meredith was elected to chair the Telena Christmas Concert series and she’s having anger issues, flashback issues, and Logan Taylor, well, he’s a hunky, he-man issue.

“A Merry Christmas” in the Holiday Magic anthology, features Three Wise Women, a pregnant Mary, a bustling Martha, a drummer man from Nigeria, singing shepherds who are ex-World War II vets, a pretty cowboy hat obsession, a tragic secret from the long ago past, a three story, brick house built in 1889 with a history as wild and rollicky as the wild west has ever been, a reclusive violin star, a Grateful Journal, fly fishing, pink cake, a duck whistle, an escape from Cambodia, and a gingerbread house.

Most of all, though, it’s about Christmas. Towering Christmas trees, flickering candles, joyous carols, delicate snowflakes, shiny ornaments, candy canes and, the real reason for it all, the birth of Jesus…

Need to escape the in-laws?

Natalie Shelton Is In A Coma. That’s Not Her Only Problem.

And that’s a wrap! My twelfth novel, “The Man She Married,” is done and flying off to New York.

What’s next? I am going to find Innocent Husband and see if he wants to go on a date. I’m going to hang out with Rebel Dancing Daughter, Darling Laughing Son, and Adventurous Singing Daughter.

I made dinner tonight and I dare say that everyone was quite stunned. The lasagna wasn’t very good, my cooking skills are poor, but the effort was made.

I’m going to watch movies, read, walk, and stop talking and arguing with the characters in my head which does make me feel ever so slightly crazed.

Want a very short summary?

Natalie Shelton is in a coma. That’s not her only problem.

The Man She Married is out at the end of August.
