holiday baking

It's no secret that I love to bake, and with Christmas coming up, I've been looking
at web sites and Pinterest boards for some baking inspiration.

This Cranberry Cake photo practically had me drooling on my keyboard.
It's from a site called The Kitchn and you can find the recipe here.


 A Pretty Life in the Suburbs posted the recipe for Mexican Hot Chocolate
cookies last year. I made them and they were delicious. I am definitely
making them again this year. Here's the recipe.


How about a Christmas Blondie? This blondie delight is studded with white chocolate, 
candied cherries, and toasted walnuts. Brought to you by Better Homes and Gardens.


I'm a huge chocolate fan, but I also love a good molasses cookie around
Christmastime. These are one of Brian's favorites. From the blog, Mango
On An Apple, here's the yummy recipe.

 
Even if you're not a baker, you can whip up these holiday spiced nuts.
They'd be great for snacking, for putting out on the table for pre-dinner
snacking when company comes over, or even put in a pretty package for
gifts. Go check out the recipe at Mom Advice.


Speaking of holiday baking, next week starts the Blog Tour that I'll be
a part of. I'm still putting final touches on my holiday decor and even though
I don't put up a tree or do anything "fancy", I'd like to think that my home
is inviting and cheery for my family and friends. I can't wait to share it with
 all of you!
