Christmas

Christmas cookies, pies and cakes are just a few of our favorite things to make during the holiday season.  Try my grandma's sugar cookies topped with the homemade sugar cookie icing and you'll never go back!  Find inspiration for your holidays in this category each and every year.

The holiday season can be super busy!  Make cookies ahead of time and freeze them to enjoy when Christmas arrives.
