Holidays are here so you know what that means! Lots of food and plenty of baking! This is the perfect week to check out this book Baker’s Passport by Susie Norris full of amazing recipes. As we gather for Thanksgiving this week with family and friends, don’t forget to give thanks for the little things that help bring us together. Baking is always a thing that helps bring families closer because you can always share traditions and brand new memories. It’s never too late to try something new and this book is full of different recipes inspired from around the world that you can give a go! I’m excited to give quite a few of them a try with the holiday season growing quickly.

Baker’s Passport has so many different recipes to test out whether you’re a beginner or pro. I’m excited to try several options with the kids for our upcoming holiday celebrations. My oldest is going to school for baking so it’s going to be really fun trying a few of these with her and seeing how she works her magic around the kitchen. We’re going to try some sweets, breads, and even a couple entrees that are inside.
