Christmas is less than a week away, and no doubt your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and all other social media platforms are starting to show signs of baking. In addition to making you hungry, it could be causing some anxiety – what are you going to make? The old standards? New favorites?
Not to mention, that cookie swap thing – at work, at church, with your book club. If you’re like me, you might have some family recipes you love, but the task of multiplying them for a bunch of people can be more than a little stressful (I do not maths well).
Well, don’t worry, because if either of these holiday heart attacks are waiting for you, Good Housekeeping has your back. Because that’s what they do.
