Lights, Breads, & Cookies!?
Yes…this weekend is going to be semi-warm…so I’ve decided that I’m going to have to use my time wisely!
I figure that since I’ll only have 2 out of the 4 children that first thing on Saturday morning (despite Jason’s reservations to do so) we are going to begin putting up outdoor lights!
It’s supposed to snow here come Monday…so, I figure that we’ll put up lights this weekend while the weather is still dry and somewhat warm…and then once their up…I’ll have time to bake!
Well…that’s the plan anyway.
I came across a slew of recipe cards last night that my Mom had stashed away. Their were TONS of recipes in there that I can use on a daily basis!
Not to mention some wonderful holiday recipes.
I’ve decided that this year I’m going to bake some breads along with my regular cookies and biscotti.
Jason loves my biscotti and it’s so easy to make! The families that I sent it out to last year really appreciated the different styles and tastes…and I enjoy making it.
I haven’t made breads in a long time…but I will be baking with my daughter and thought that it would be a good time to teach her how. Besides, they make wonderful gifts as well.
Thank you all for sharing your holiday plans and such with me…it’s nice to know that I’m not alone in trying to keep up with the fast pace of the season!

Sounds like you need to get those lights up quickly
. The bread sounds wonderfull
Getting your lights up during a window of “warmth” is a good idea.
What kinds of breads will you be making? I’ve got a recipe for chocolate/chocolate chip pound cake you might be interested in Maria. Let me know and I’ll send it to you.
I’ve been baking our Christmas cookies etc. with my daughter for a few years now and its something we both look forward to. Have a great time! You’re cookie and bread pictures have made me hungry!

good luck!
Sounds tasty. Taking things as they come.
