How is it already nearly Christmas Eve? I’m putting the last few touches on our holiday, our home, and our gifts. So with the real work done, I get to focus on the last-minute items like baking! Since my son won’t let us eat the gingerbread house he made (who’d have thought he could accept just looking at a cookie/candy house for a week), I must turn to other tasty treats for my holiday elf fix. Here are a list of links to the recipes and tutorials I’m delving into over the next 24 hours. And after Christmas, come back to read about some of the last-minute gifts I handmade and the Blueberry surprise (no, not like meatloaf surprise) I’m planning for Christmas Day dessert!
