It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!! That’s because I’ve officially started my holiday baking. First up on the “to-bake” list- some delicious Christmas Blondies from a recipe I found on Smitten Kitchen, with my own peppy spin, of course. These Christmas blondies are virtually fool-proof so they were the perfect kick-off to my holiday baking-spree!

Hawlie, the Overnight Maple French Toast recipe was a great hit at my recent breakfast party. Everyone is asking for the recipe and, of course, I have it to give away! Thank you for helping me look like a great cook.
