Baking Day

I typically try to do some Christmas baking to give away as gifts to neighbors and friends during the holidays. Well, Friday was baking day at the Meek house. Steve helped with a lot of it. I somehow ended up making all of the goodies that required using the electric mixer. Maybe it's just me but does it seem like mixers should come equipped with a much slower "slow" speed? It never fails that I fling my dry ingredients all over myself and the kitchen as soon as I turn the mixer on. This of course requires more clean up and my adding more of the dry ingredients to the mixture...just hoping I guess correctly at what needs adding. The goodies turned out alright I think. I always have such good intentions but, by the end, I'm so ready to be done baking for another year. I hope everyone enjoys their treats!
