Hi there!
With just a few short weeks 'til Christmas, I thought I would do a roundup of all the projects I have made in my very own kitchen to share with you.
I seldom buy gifts for friends and neighbours as I usually make something from the kitchen to share.
I love homemade and I am always so touched when I receive a homemade gift.
I have forever been inspired by my Mother, Sandra...and her family.
My mother, to me, outdoes Martha Stewart any day of the week!
{And she does not have a boatload of assistants, or professionals to do it for her!}
For years my mother has made homemade gifts for her 5 brothers & sisters and friends for Christmas.
She always gave homemade baking, or she would tramp around in the woods, cutting boughs of greenery to bring home to make fresh Christmas centerpieces for everyone!
My Uncle Derrick has traditionally given us his delicious homemade carrot cake every year.
And my dear Aunt Janet was famous for her Nanaimo Bars.
And my Aunt Nannette always has some delicious recipe on the go! Her peanut brittle recipe is easy & so yummy!
And I know we are not the only family who show our love with gifts from the kitchen....there are thousands of home cooks out there who do the same!
