There is something about holiday baking that is so exciting it needs two parts, one to cover the prep and one to cover the actual baking and packaging. Holiday baking really is an entire season, and if you couldn’t tell… I am here for it. So, let’s warm up the oven and get started. Today’s Blogmas is all about preparing for holiday baking and even appreciating the little conveniences that help make it all possible (I’m looking at you Walmart delivery).
Before I even begin to bake, a cozy mood needs to be set. I am talking Christmas sweater, candles lit and a Christmas movie on… or Christmas music blasting. Romanticizing any and everything is kind of what I do, as seen on all my social media accounts found below- so why would I stop with baking?!?! Setting the atmosphere is part of what makes this one of my favorite holiday traditions… not a task but a tradition!
I start by determining what recipes I am making this year, creating an ingredient/ shopping list and well…shopping. This week has been extra busy, and the stores seem extra crowded, even for this time of year. Walmart delivery to the rescue. Everything delivered to my doorstep at the time they said it would be. Seriously worth every penny of the tip given to my shopper/driver. This was just a small joy I was especially thankful for today.
I can’t wait to share the recipes I have chosen this year and then the finished products. Whether you are baking for family, friends, coworkers, gifts, yourself or all the above, I hope your kitchen is warm, cozy and filled with love and treats!
See you tomorrow for Blogmas Day 9!
