So I learned a long time ago that the best gifts to get and give are the ones that come from the heart. See my favorite person in the entire world, my Grandma Smith, made cookies and fudge for her grand kids and sweet breads for her children (although they wanted the cookies and fudge too). I remember going to help her over a few day span and the smells from her kitchen filled her trailer and you could even smell them outside were amazing. I learned a lot from her and now that she is gone, I continue her tradition and make cookies, fudge, and breads to give for Christmas. They may be time consuming but so worth it and everyone loves them. Over the next few days, I will post some of my favorite recipes that I use for gifts, as well as some jar gifts. I hope that you enjoy and can find something that you love that you make for those special to you.
This year for bread I made Banana Bread (it is always a hit). You can find the recipe at this link: http://inthekitchenwithleslie.blogspot.com/2010/10/banana-bread.html
Also on my list is chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, and chocolate chip cookies. Have not decided what other cookies to make yet, but maybe a butter or sugar cookie and I am thinking about trying a ginger snap.
Stay tuned to see what is baking this Christmas Season.
