Holiday Baking Season

Tomorrow is December 1, and you know what that means… cookie baking season! I have so many treat ideas brewing, but I also want to make some of last year’s favorites and our traditional cookies as well. I forsee a lot of baking coming on. And a lot of friends and family receiving homemade goodies for the holidays.

And when you want a snack but need a break from all the sugar, try one of these treats:

Smoky Curried Popcorn

    I’m looking forward to go on a baking spree as well but I’m also a little wigged out about it. I literally lost an hour’s sleep thinking of ingredients I need to get and how many things I can send to the hubby’s work without them thinking I’m fattening them up for a kill!

      Ha. Dan’s coworkers get lots of treats from our house too. You could also mail them to family/friends. Or give some to your neighbors!

      They are delicious! Just be sure to use the parchment paper as recommended, or they will stick to the pan and you will be sad.
