Time to let the baking begin. I make the same things every year, it seems to be what my family loves most and to them it says the “Holidays Are Here.”
I pulled out my family’s favorites to share. These are tried and true recipes as you will notice by all the smudges on my recipe cards, but they are ones that are worth a try for your family and they might become your favorites too.
These are Chocolate Crackles and definitely my youngest son’s favorite of all.
I love a good Pecan Pie, and this one is the best ever.
Everyone loves Pumpkin Bread, and this recipe makes 3 big loaves or you can make a ton of small ones as gifts.
The one thing that really means Christmas to my family are the old fashioned Sugar Cookies. As you can tell from the rolling pin and cutters, I have been making these forever. My grown children and grands expect them or it just isn’t going to be Christmas.
Those old cutters sometimes leave the edges a little rough, but they still work.
Topped with a sprinkle of sugar, they are perfect. Let cool, shake off the excess and yummmmmmm.
Some ready for Thanksgiving and some already started for Christmas.
My extra fridge in the laundry room seems to always get a workout. Good treats and a casserole for that impromptu dinner party. Now off to make some candy, how about divinity and fudge?
If you would like to copy any of these recipes, I have a Print Friendly button at the bottom.
