There are 45 days 'til Christmas which means I'm in a scramble to find yummy recipes. :P For the past few years, I've baked goodies and packaged them as gifts. I read an article in Family Circle today (while waiting for my prenatal appointment) that people actually prefer homemade gifts; its more meaningful and what better way to a loved ones heart than their stomach? I found a bunch of recipes, but now the hardest task is narrowing that long list down. Here are a few ideas of what I have in mind:
Caramel Apple Cookies
Cinnamon French Toast Cookies
I've also been asked to donate some cookies for my girl's bake sale at work. All proceeds will benefit The Share Our Strength: No Kid Hungry organization. I'm pretty sure I'm going to make the pecan pie cookies. It's perfect for getting folks in the Thanksgiving mood, which happens to be just around the corner. Aiyiyi. I've started stocking up on flour, sugar, and butter but the ingredients slowly but surely have begun to dwindle as I've been baking almost every day. I've been in a baking mood A LOT lately. Maybe that's just my way of nesting before the baby comes? ;)
