If you’re following along this month, I’m talking about some simple Holiday Shortcuts that I’m making to make things a bit simpler this season. Didn’t get the printable checklist? Go here to grab one.

Some baking shortcut ideas?
  • Make a list of all the things that you’d “like” to bake
  • Decide on your top 3-5 things on that list and bake those things first
  • Bake one or two cookies a week and freeze them
  • Host/attend a cookie exchange
  • Fill in the blanks with easy to make/assemble candy (like 5 minute fudge)
  • Get the kids involved – this might not be a shortcut, but it’s always a fun activity
