If I don't gain 300lbs this Christmas it will be a miracle!!!!! Anyone else finding they just might be baking to many yummies for the season? But I can't help it. The kids have so much fun helping me do all the baking and it's making wonderful christmas memories for them.
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

I used to bake a lot more than I do now. Since our kids are grown and my parents are in heaven and there are less big gatherings at my house it's different. BUT, I do love to bake for giving to neighbors and friends.
I used to bake all our bread and cookies all the time and I decided that I would plan on baking for a couple days this week to get some goodies for Christmas eating, giving and put whatever in the freezer for later.
Yesterday it was:
- Pecan Shortbread, double batch
- Honey Whole Wheat (yeast) bread, 2 loaves
- Five Chip cookies, a big double batch
Today (I have more time today) it is:
- 2nd round of Pecan Shortbread, another double batch
- Oatmeal Raisin Toffee cookies, big double batch
- Oatmeal Molasses (yeast) breat, 4 loaves
- Almond Cookies, double batch
- Twelfth Night Scones, double batch
I don't have a bread machine and have never used one. Since I don't bake as much bread these days I really don't think it's a wise investment for me. BUT, I also find it to be very therapeutic to knead my bread . . I enjoy doing that!

I'm having some wonderful therapeutic baking time!!!

I made 4 loaves of bread and a gazillion saffron buns this week. I hadn't made saffron buns before and now I have way too many on my hands! LOL! We made cookies yesterday with my MIL and I also made some pepparkakor cookies (Swedish ginger cookies) on Wednesday. Loads of baking going on here! The last 3 weeks I made gingerbread cookies, gingersnaps and Swedish Spritz as well, all of which are gone already....  I am wanting to get a Swedish tearing done next week and some Swedish Rye bread too. If you can't tell, I'm Swedish! :) I've been needing to make some Kringler too and my mouth is watering for some...going to go make some now. Happy baking ladies and Merry Christmas!

Oh, I hear ya! Ceejay, your bread looks yummy! I've made sugar cookie cutouts with Audrey, chocolate chip (since they are our favorite), and will make koulourakia today. Also have cake leftover I baked for my farmgirl party Saturday. Love love love to bake! Think I'll bake some bread today, too.
Gotta do my Christmas cards, as well. :)
