I Haven't Baked A Single Cookie...



I haven't baked a single cookie... 




...but my kitchen is brimming with sweets.



See post from last year for my Mom's gingerbread recipe.

(PS- We will bake when the kids come home from college.)

  5. Gayle, your gingerbread cookie jars are beautiful! Our daughter loves to decorate with gingerbread people, as well. Thank you for the link back to your grandmother's recipe for gingerbread. I'll be using it very soon! :-)

  7. Oh, that makes me sad to think that in a few short years my own kids will be away at college and I'll have no one to bake for/with. That is neat that you're waiting for them though. Something you can still do together. I read somewhere about a mom and grown daughter that still, every single year, get together on a Saturday and bake 15 different things and then package them up together and deliver them to neighbors. That sounds like such a fun tradition to start someday with my girls...if they'll do it (gulp). Right now I'm starting to feel like they may hate me forever!

  8. Hi there, thanks for your visit. I love, love gingerbread men and I love all these darling things you have here. I loved the little guy over at your mom's wearing the sign, "Eat sugar cookies" so cute! I love your mom's recipe. I posted a quick and easy and very good recipe for them a couple of posts back, you might want to look at it too. Have a great time, it's my favorite thing to do! ;D

  12. I love the gingerbread houses/cookie jars. Such btight and mouth watering things in your kitchen. I don't bake so no cookies in this house but we love the Swiss gingerbread that we used to get from Switzerland. Now Bill tries to cook it. You must be looking forward to the kids coming home from college and they must be looking forward to some cookies.
