<p>I just love to cook and bake for my family. I especially take pride in my Christmas baking. That time of year in my home is always a big deal. Christmastime isn't the same without all the wonderful smells, decorating and warm, fuzzy feelings the season brings with it. <br /> <br />I must say, I do enjoy searching for old-fashioned type recipes or comfort foods, rather than the artsy type recipes. I'm a nostalgic one indeed! :)</p>
