I was so delighted to see Rebecca’s email last week about her favorite Christmas things. Rebecca is a good friend of mine and her kids are absolutely adorable. They hold a very special place in my heart, as I had the distinct privilege of teaching them the proper way to eat ice cream—you know, [...]

Guest Post on Ang Sarap: Five Pies in Five Days

Christmas Traditions: Colorful Christmas Cookies
Submitted by: Mark Riggs, Kansas City, MO When I think about Christmas traditions in my family (both the family I grew up with and my family of friends I’ve accumulated over the years), I think of lots of traditions that—for different reasons—aren’t long-standing ones. The up side to this is I have twelve ideas for [...]
A Dunker’s Companion: Biscotti
By Donna Helzer, Guest Author and Friend If you ask around there are dunkers and non-dunkers in life. Non-dunkers just do not understand dunkers and there is no convincing them. I am a dunker. Of course, I dunk cookies into milk, but my coffee with cream is host to various things…toast, muffins, cookies, scones, and [...]
Christmas Traditions: A Birthday Cake
Submitted by: Mary Uhlemeyer Our cherished Christmas tradition is to bake a birthday cake and sing happy birthday to Jesus Christmas morning. Sometimes we decorate the cake, sometimes it’s plain, but we always put candles on it and our son, Steven, enjoys blowing them out. We then enjoy the cake for dessert after lunch.

Christmas Traditions: Jammies Under The Tree
Submitted by: Monica Bryant One of our favorite Christmas traditions is new jammies for Christmas! Every year since my oldest daughter was a baby, I have made Christmas pajamas for my girls. I choose fabric that is relevant to their year i.e. ballet print when they got their pointe shoes, teddy bears when they loved [...]
Christmas Traditions: Christmas Wreath
Submitted by: Rachel (24) My dad’s mother loved to work in her kitchen. She was known for her recipes around the holidays.
