Holiday Baking List 2010

Baking bloggers bake a bunch. {Say that 10x fast!}

So when the holiday season comes around it just gets down-right crazy.

I started to think about all the treats and festive dishes I wanted to make this year. There are a lot. Then I started to think about my blogging group commitments...and I am not sure if it is physically possible for me to bake everything I want and keep up with those groups. But I will try...{and still somehow manage to fight the holiday bulge!}

I love holiday dishes and baked goods. They are so fun, festive and create memories and connect you to your heritage. I can't wait to make some of my favorite holiday recipes.

Alright friends, here's my list. It's a combo of recipes that I've made, dishes I grew up with and new dishes I'd love to try. I'm not sure what I'll get to, but this list is for list's sake. My goal is to make at least six of these recipes, two from each category.
