Some Favorite Holiday Foods
Here are some of my favorite foods to make for Christmas!

Mom’s English Toffee Cookies
I grew up with these cookies and still make them every Christmas. They always remind me of my mom.

Scandinavian Almond Bars
I found this cookie recipe that my mom had marked as “wonderful” in her recipe box so of course I had to try them!

Kara’s Rolls
These easy no-knead overnight dinner rolls are a favorite at our house especially with my youngest daughter.

Whole Wheat Carrot Cake
This Whole Wheat Carrot Cake doesn’t even need a frosting. Just a dusting of powdered sugar will do. It’s a family favorite!
