It happens to me alot! LOL. Anyways, today I thought we would talk about some recipes, Christmas ones to be exact! At this time of year I love baking!!!

This got me thinking. What kind of traditions do you have at this time of year? Do you bake with your children? Do you remember baking with your mom when you were younger? And what is your favorite food that brings the “Christmas” Spirit to you? For me, it is the smell of snickerdoodles!!! I love those cookies and to me they are so easy to bake!
