'Tis the Season... for Baking

“It’s baking season.”

I’ve heard that at least a dozen times a day in the past couple of weeks. Often it’s in e-mails from vendors with special offers or catalogs that still come in the mail, but not always.

There’s a part of me that wants to say, “Yes! bring the baking on!” and another part of me that wants to shout, “Who decided we can only bake around the holidays?”

For some of us – especially those of us who need baked goods without wheat, dairy, eggs, and nuts – baking season is all year long. We can’t all rely on processed food from the grocery store for our daily bread and snacks.

What’s your take? Do you bake just around the holidays? Or are you a year-long baker?

Happy Thanksgiving!
