your favorite way of doing your
holiday cooking and baking.
Perhaps you like to get as much
accomplished in a days time as
possible—maybe you get
together with family members or
friends to divide the work load,
exchange recipes, and then share
the bounty. Or maybe you prefer
making a small amount at a time.
Whatever your preference, we
are sure you are interested in still
more recipes. We are devoting
this issue of the recipe exchange
to holiday cooking selections for
your use. Good luck in your en
deavors!
