A Few of My Favorite Things
Did you grow up baking in the kitchen every December like I did? Now that I am an adult, I miss the family getting together to do that. Granny has passed away and Mom’s health is not such that we can do it like we used to. My sister has such a strong gluten allergy she can’t even be in the same room as flour. That means if I am doing this, I am doing it alone. But I remember 3 or 4 days each year we would always get together and just go crazy baking.

Holiday baking has begun in my home. I spread out the baking so I am not cooking everything all at once. This week was breads. I either do muffins or loaves and I went with loaves this year. I will say even those who told me they can’t stand banana said the Chocolate Banana Bread was their favorite! Make your grocery list and head to the store. Then, join me in the kitchen for delicious loaves you can give as gifts to those in your life. Get the kids involved and share your own favorite recipe while you make memories loafing around!
