Here are a few of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. Most of these are easy to make and kid friendly. Enjoy!

These cookies are the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Best of all? No need to turn the oven on when it's 90 degrees outside.
No bake recipes are perfect for summer. Not only are these recipes delicious and easy to make, but you can avoid adding extra heat to your already hot home by not having to use the oven.

I'm a believer in moderation, meaning anything is good for you, as long as it's in moderation. I like to apply this philosophy to food especially.
