@AuthorKristina Knight's Sugar Cookies!

We're sharing cookie recipes this week at WordWranglers - and I'm up today with my Sugar Cookies recipe. Everyone loves an iced sugar cookie at the holidays, and this one is always a crowd pleaser...I think it's because of the icing.

We always take a couple of Saturdays in late November/early December to bake and ice and then we freeze the resulting cookies so that starting on December 23, we just have to grab a tin of cookies from the freezer when we're ready to munch.

Here we go with the reci...

Rolling Along and a Holiday Giveaway!

My holiday recipe is for rolls that melt in your mouth. We're doing favorite holiday recipes this week here in the round pen and honestly, these crescent rolls are favorites of all my neighbors and friends and family. I make a crazy number of them and send them to my clients and then make a crazy bunch more and pass them out all up and down my road. Try them--they're time-intensive, but man so worth it!

Have a cookie...or a book...or... @Liz Flaherty

One of the best parts--and the laaaargest parts--of the holiday season, is the baking and eating of cookies. Lots of cookies. This year, I am once again dancing with Weight Watchers as my partner, and the recipes below are Weight Watchers friendly, costing only two Smart Points per cookie. The bad part of it is that I haven't tried them. I'm so sorry to admit it, but it has so far been an eventful season and none of those events have involved baking. Sigh.

Anyway, these look delicious to me. I...

The End of the Beginning

By Ava Cuvay

Winner Notification: Molly Daniels is my winner from last week’s Word Wrangler giveaways! Molly, please pm me with your mailing address so I can get your copy of “The Lake House” Anthology and your mer-pug socks to you!

Christmas in a Small Town by @AuthorKristina Knight

Christmas in a Small Town  is LIVE - you can pick it up in print and e formats, from your favorite book retailer, so go forth!

I'm super excited for this book, it's my first 'official' Christmas-themed book, and it's my fifth Slippery Rock title...and it's my 7th Harlequin Suprromance...but it's also bittersweet, because this is my last Superromance title. I'm still so sad that Harlequin has decided to close this line of rich, deep, thoughtful books, but I'm also feeling blessed that I've...

Christmas is the time for giving...And Giveaways!

It's December and the countdown to Christmas has begun. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Fortunately, I don't have an extensive shopping list, but I've done next to nothing so far. The crunch is on!

Thinking about buying Christmas gifts makes me remember of some of my favorite Christmas gifts. Of course, I've received many gifts over the years (I've seen a few Christmases, after all!) but some have stuck in my memory. 
I probably received most of my childhood dolls at Christma...

Holidays and Family

Happy December 1st!!

Hard to believe the last month of the year is already here. Especially since the days in my neck of the woods have been particularly sunny and cheerful and even unseasonably warm, which appreciate now that I’m substitute teaching and often have to cover recess duty.
I’ve subbed in the younger grades these past couple of weeks, and have really enjoyed reading to the classes from the books the teachers have assigned. I really get into it, letting my inner actress out, and the...
