The Great 2017 Holiday Baking Extravaganza

Every year, I do this Holiday Baking Extravaganza. Some elements are the same each time, some are new, some rotate depending on my mood and what fits into the mix well. This year I did three recipes I always make (Grandma Brown's Gingerbread, Cherry Pie Filling Bread, and Soft Molasses Spice Cookies) and tried five new things. All of them were fabulous!

2017 Holiday Food Report

This year, in addition to doing a blog post on the ridiculous amount of tasty treats I make every year (The Great 2017 Baking Extravaganza), I thought I'd do a second one featuring a fun thing I did for a close friend as well as the Christmas Day dinner I made for my mother and myself. I tried a number of new things this year and had a fabulous time doing it, so it occurred to me I should share.
