Martha Stewart has been a domestic role model for me.  When I quit working and JR and I became a one income family, I listened to every word she said about everything.  Her recipes never let me down.

She also provides the link to another article that features 12 Classic Christmas Sugar Cookie recipes. Click here to go to the recipe page.  You gotta try them!

One of my favorite chocolate candies :)

This is one of those candies that is perfect for gift giving.  Make a batch of these and package some up to have as a small gift of appreciation to the hostess of a party or for someone who has come to visit you, etc.  It is always a good idea to have plenty of these type of little gifts on hand for all types of situations.

This recipe comes from Mr. Food who always has awesome recipes.  Click here to go to Mr. Food's recipe page.
