Baking for the holidays...

My children have been quizzing me as to when we would be baking Christmas cookies. Today seemed like the perfect day to complete that task. We have spent the day baking four kinds of cookies. This is a significant reduction from my normal holiday baking. Since my husband and I have given up grain it doesn't make sense for me to bake quite as much as I used to. The children and slowly transitioning to a grain free diet- although they don't realize it. My plan is to reduce over time the number of grain base products in their diet until such a time as it seems normal to them not to be eating grains constantly. This make take a year or more but the day will come. For now I am fine with letting them indulge in a few holiday treats.
