Let The Holiday Baking Begin!

Folks, let's face it--it isn't quite the holidays without at least a little bit of baking involved, right? At least around here, there's quite a bit of nostalgia to be had with Mama (or our best Aunt, or Grannie) knee deep in dough, sugar, and the magic of the oven, making those wonderful, time tested sweets that we know and love.

At Folk Wisdom, we're all about it--but with a slight twist! So here are some great sweets with a new take...most of these are easy, and they are definitely different AND tasty!

So enjoy! And be on the look-out TOMORROW, when we share old-fashioned Christmas recipes and a bit of history!!
