Holiday Spices

Holidays and other special events are not the same without herbs and spices. Of course, the tried and true recipes used over the years for cookies, pies and a wide variety of side dishes are all made special because of different types of spices.

The holidays and special events are a great time to bake and create special treats. Yet, I always try to keep things simple so that there's time for the really important things in life like spending time with family and friends.

This web-site is built based on these ideas. Nothing is too complicated. I stick to the simpler recipes and leave the type of cooking that requires candy thermometers and rolling balls of substances to the experts.
