At this time of year, so much focus seems to fall on baking– whether it is pumpkin or apple pie at Thanksgiving or brilliantly decorated sugar cookies for Christmas or my friend Donna’s famous peanut butter balls which very much resemble Buckeyes I enjoyed as a child with my family. In some families, baking can be a very big deal and in others, not so much. In some it is a matter of messiness and nibbling on the dough. In others it is a almost a serious matter of baking high volumes to share, and for a special group of my friends, it is about an annual cookie exchange with serious prizes for the best tasting and best cookie gift packaging. (Here is a link to some cookie recipes from one of those exchanges, if you are interested in some awesome cookies, by the way.)
Week 8’s prompt is:
Did you bake or cook with anyone in your family? What foods did you make?

What is your story?
Was baking a part of your life growing up or is it a part of your life now?
Document and share those memories this week on this week’s Memories to Share sheet and keep it to share later or share it tonight over dinner. This way your family stories can be enjoyed now and for generations to come. (Plus, reliving those happy times is a great sabbath exercise in thankfulness.)
Feel free to share here in the comments, also, if you’d like.
