Happy Holidays!

Hanukkah falls on Christmas this year so it’s officially Tis’ The Season of 1000-calories days. Though, if you created those calories with love, you’re exempt from judgement (and extra pounds).

I’m God of cakes and cookies and all other edible things! But, really, forget Hanukkah or Christmas, food is my true religion! When there’re still foods to make, there’s still faith!

So, I was busy worshipping in the kitchen today to satisfy both traditions. All is gluten free of course!
