Hi! My name is Becca. I'm a young wife with no children and a busy schedule! I use allrecipes to find information on making my favorite dishes easier. I also use allrecipes to find low-cal and low-fat recipes to help me with my weight loss journey. You can follow my weight loss vlog at youtube.com/user/thechubbybutt. I like to cook easy, low fat, QUICK meals for my hubby and I. I am still trying to decide which I love more - my hubby or my Crock Pot! Starting a week before Christmas my mom, sister, and I would bake dozens upon dozens of cookies. We had homemade aprons with pictures of bears and flowers on them. One was green with a red pocket and one was red with a green pockets. My sister and I would always argue over who got to wear which one. :) After my mom resolved that we would begin the process of baking - usually double or triple batches - of each kind of cookie. We'd make chocolate chip, butterscotch chip, peanut butter kisses, spritzes, pizelles, sandies, and my favorite, cut-outs. Flour and decorating sugars would be flying around the kitchen, it was hot as you-know-what, and we were cranky from being on our feet all day. However, when we were finished baking and had put all those cookies away in our decorated tins, we felt a sense of accomplishment. My mom would pull out her three-tiered cookie tray on Christmas morning, and I was responsible for laying out the cookies, interspersed with candies, for company.
