Holiday kitchen crafts are always a part of our family routine this time of year. Chocolate bark, ginger cookies, little quick breads, and cranberry-studded granola are just a few favorites we’ve routinely shared with neighbors and teachers alike. This year will be no different, although without relatives visiting from out of town, I expect to be shipping more than delivering goodies by hand. It’s with that in mind that I pulled together 15 homemade treats — both sweet and savory — to share and ship to the ones you love.
Wait, There’s More
