How Early?

I do my baking the 1st and 2nd weeks of December. I freeze most of my cookies until needed for Christmas and parties. I use tupperware containers and layer them with wax paper. My cookie list at recipes are online at: http://catholicmomof2.blogspot.com/2007 ... om-my.html

I start baking my breads, cookies and such in October. Other foods, casseroles, etc I will start making in mid-late Novemeber and through Christmas.
My poor husband only gets to eat the really good foods during the cooler months. :haha: I hate cooking in the kitchen when it's blistering hot outside.

I'm so excited about the cookie ingredient bags that Christmas Creations is helping us with for CIJ! A jump on holiday baking already! Who would've thought?!

I usually take the Friday off like a week before Christmas and then bake and make candy all week-end. Should say we ---the family helps. Then I try to get the trays out on that Sunday and take a huge one to work so it can be ate on all week. My neighbor will start in late October -- early November and freezes them.
I break up my baking. I will do small batches in Nov and in the Dec and then do a 2 day bakefest sometime the week before Christmas. The small batches are so we have fresh cookies to have on hand and then alot that I makde during my bakefest gets put into the goodie baskets that I hand out.

Thank you jackfrosty!! I am very excited on doing the DIBS (dry ingredient bag setup) with everyone!!! This has truly helped me out the past two years and not just during the holidays. I always have my banana bread bags ready for when I get ripe bananas and it is easy as 1,2,3 to make and bake them!!!
Those of you not knowing about the DIBS, the introduction was greatfully setup by Ginger in our Christmas in July forum

Thank you soooo much for the recipes. I am always looking for good cookie recipes. Can you leave the baked goodies out or do they need to be refrig. at night. I have recipes that I do but some of them need to be refrig. at night so I am afraid to put them on a goodies tray and send them to his work.
Thanks!!!!!
