For me, Winter always brings out the desire to spend more time in the kitchen. Chocolate Bread is the ultimate in indulgent baking, and ohhhhh the smell in the house when its baking. If you are interested in the recipe, email me and I'd be happy to send it to you. And another recipe just for you: Hawaiian Mood Cookies. :) Again, let me know if you are interested in the recipe. Jane,

My friends and I get together every year and bake and decorate sugar cookies. It's a fun time for us we usually bake in our jammies and order a couple pizzas! My all time favorite recipe is a cookie my grandma use to make called "delicous" cookie. It has all sorts of yummy ingedients in it...Rice krispies, coconut, oats. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

I bake tons of cookies, mexican wedding cookies, sugar, gingersnaps,spritz,pumpkin bread and fudge & carmel corn. This year my son is into the baking, so he will come up to do some divinity & hand dipped choc cherries and his own "organic ginger cookies". Some of my recipes come from cookbooks my Mom gave me, now "vintage"! Hi Jane,

She passed away 5 years ago this Christmas and I share that tradition now with my daughter.

She was quite the baker and it is hard to follow in her footsteps, but I try. She use to make Rocky road that was to die for! She also use to make these old fashioned sugar cookies with raisins in the middle...mmm, so good. Unfortunately, mine never turn out like hers did! :) It's all about good family memories and baking as a family! It is all about baking the famous cookies and candies my mother use to make.
