Here is a delicious holiday recipe to enjoy alongside my latest Christmas book:
HER MISTLETOE COWBOY. I
think Christmas and everyone I know thinks of my mint chip brownies and my
marzipan bundt cake. The brownies are more or less a standard recipe, except
doubled (so the brownies are nice and thick) and add in lots of mint chips.
Here’s the marzipan cake:
Marzipan Cake
INGREDIENTS:
1 (18.25 ounce) package moist white (or yellow) cake mix
1 (5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup of vegetable oil
¾ cup of Amaretto
4 eggs
½ cup of almond slivers
1 tube of almond paste (marzipan)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 10 inch bundt pan with Pam (with flour)
Cut almond paste into approximately 14 slices, then put into blender (or
something that resembles coffee bean grinder). Object is to break up the slices
into tiny pieces to distribute the flavor throughout the cake.
In medium bowl combine all the above ingredients then beat with an electric
mixer for 5 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes (insert knife in center, cake is done
when knife comes out clean) Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert and
remove cake from pan (with luck!). Let cake cool completely, then drizzle with
powder sugar.

isn't sure what she'll find when she comes to Forever, Texas, to do a story on a
groundbreaking program
that could put this small town on the map. It certainly isn't the warm, friendly
community that makes the roving
reporter feel instantly at home. Or the accident that lays her up at Garrett
White Eagle's ranch, where the blue-eyed
rancher awakens feelings she long ago gave up.
Giving people hope
again is the goal of the healing ranch Garrett started with his brother. And the
lovely, hardworking
writer is no exception. Doesn't Kim realize how much good they can do—together?
Her future is here with him. If she's
willing to trust in a love that could fulfill the promise of forever.
