    Default what are you baking for the holidays?

    I'll admit that I am not a big baker. I generally bake some cookies and never enough where I need to freeze ahead or anything. It's always just us for the holidays.

    I always intend to do some candymaking, but never seem to actually do it.

    What do you guys bake or make ahead for the holidays?

    Ugh...hopefully a bunch of really good WW friendly recipes.

    I'm a big baker, especially around the holidays, but I can never resist my treats. I am worried that the holidays will sabotage my current dieting effort, so I'm looking for low fat, low calorie recipes now

    I don't think I'll do any baking this Christmas for the very reason that Michelle talked about.    I can't resist Christmas baking either, its really a hard thing to do.    I'll probably purchase a small Christmas cake from a group of mentally challenged adults in a small town close to us, and if I decide we want to have some Christmas cookies, I'll purchase a pkg. from the bakery.

    My main problem is I love baking as well and I love baking in large batches.    When the stuff is here and in sight, well you all get the picture.

    I plan on purchased a lot more Japanese oranges though to replace the baking!!
