Christmas time is here and in the Warford house, it means it's time for the annual Christmas cookie baking weekend! This tradition, like most of mine, started with my mom when I was growing up.

The pantry in both of our last two rentals have been small but my biggest problem isn't how small they were but how narrow and deep.
