The holidays are coming! Are you ready?
When I was younger I loved baking cookies for the holidays and I still do today.
A tin of cookies or a loaf of freshly baked bread is the perfect gift to show friends, family and neighbors how much they mean to you.
The M & M cookies below are one of the first cookies I learned how to bake as a girl and they are still one of my holiday favorites.
Do you enjoy baking?
Food Lion is launching a Holiday Bake Off recipe contest on their Facebook page.
You can enter the contest by sharing a recipe in any of the four categories: appetizer, entre, side dish, or dessert. 12 grand prize winners will receive a $500 Food Lion gift card!
Wouldn't that be nice!
The Food Lion Bake Off contest kicked off on 11/7/12 and will end 11/28/12.
Hurry - the contest ends November 28th.
Good luck!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Food Lion. I received a promotional item to facilitate my shopping experience and review.
