#HolidayShopping&Cooking

Every time I think I’m finished shopping I think of something I missed. As I’m writing this, I have another turkey in the oven for tomorrow’s Creamed Turkey Event.

Creamed Turkey

A lot of people say they've never heard of this, but it's a family favorite, and no week after Thanksgiving or Christmas is complete without enjoying creamed turkey over mashed potatoes. It was my favorite meal at the school cafeteria when I was a kid, so I recreated it. Often I roast a turkey just so we can have this. There's no exact recipe, but I'm going to tell you how to successfully make it.

leftover turkey, chopped

leftover turkey gravy

white sauce

Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master seasoning

can of cream of chicken soup

How much gravy you have left over and how many you want to serve will decide how much white sauce you need.

I usually melt a stick of butter/margarine, add a couple big spoonsful of flour until it's a paste and then gradually add milk and stir until it's thick. Add salt (I only use Celtic sea salt).

Once you have a batch of white sauce, add Kitchen Bouquet for color and flavor.

Add the can of cream of chicken soup and mix well.

Add leftover gravy and stir in.

Add chopped turkey.

Heat through.

Serve over mashed potatoes with leftover sides. Cranberry sauce is an especially good pairing.

#NewRelease

Full disclosure: This book was previously published as The Truth About Toby 25 years ago. If you weren’t reading my books back then or missed it, the story will be entirely new to you. If you did read it, you’ll find updates and changes. I always hated the title, so the little boy is now Jack. Isn’t that better? Plus, I found it hilarious that no one had cell phones or technology we take for granted today, so I updated all that.

The book releases December 26th.

This new release is a three-story anthology packed with all the feels, the Spencer atmosphere, and the holiday cheer you've come to expect from the Aspen Gold authors. The stories will have you in the mood for Christmas as quickly as you can drink your hot chocolate.

#OneLastThing

If you’ve never read my bestselling historical ever, I’ve recently made it available in print. You can also grab it for your ereader if you prefer.

Too-Tall Thea Coulson has given up on dreams of a husband and children. When an orphan arrives by train in Nebraska with no one to claim her, Thea vows to move heaven and earth to make this child her own.

Booker Hayes shows up to take his niece, however, and his mind is made up. He’s taking little Zoe. Thea’s nights are filled with dreams of the tall, dark army major, but she guards her heart. A marriage of convenience seems the only answer.

Booker’s first taste of home and hearth has him longing for more, but first he must win the trust of his niece…and the heart of the sun-kissed farmer's daughter.

And if you’ve read it, please leave a review!
