Snow is falling, holiday music is playing, everywhere you look there are decorations and lights…it’s the holidays!!  And what does that mean?  I can finally make holiday cookies again!  I’m heading to the store tonight to pick up all the ingredients to start baking.  That’s why it’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Mint snowballs, candy cane cookies, holiday brownies, chocolate bark with red and green sprinkles.  This means endless hours in the kitchen that are far too much fun, trying new recipes, wrapping the goodies in seasonal colors and finally flopping on the couch at the end of the day, exhausted and full from sampling a bit of each treat.

The best part of all this…HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY.
