Tasty Christmas Bites: Busily Baking...

By Beth V

First day of winter

Christmas parties

Three-year-old voices caroling the birth of our Lord.

Cute little snowmen

Sure to be gobbled

By those three-year-old boys and girls.

Some hold snowballs

Ready for a fight.

Some seem to be a little more aware of their plight.

Risen dough

Spread with delights

Butter, lots of it, cinnamon, sugar

Roll it up tight.

Slice it, bake it.

Oh, my. Heavenly glaze.

Too delicious for words.

Hope the teachers and staff enjoy

So thankful for the love they give every day.

I promise I’ll have a recipe next week for your leftover Christmas ham. Just wrap up the bone with a double thickness of foil, place about 2 cups of diced ham in a freezer bag and throw them both into the freezer and they will be ready for next week’s delicious and healthy recipe.

Merry Christmas!
