Building our Community

Christmas is creeping up on us fast. All the end of year events, breakups, and Christmas shopping will saturate our lives until the lull after Christmas day when we take a rest from all the extra yummy things available to eat this time of year.

A few of those 'yummy things' that are great as gifts, or for when people come to visit or to bring to an event are listed in some recipes below. No matter how the next few weeks look for you remember to spend some time reflecting all that God has done for us.

A favourite gingerbread recipe and one of the most popular Christmas cookie recipes on this website. Soft in the centers, crisp on the edges, perfectly spiced, molasses and brown sugar-sweetened holiday goodness.

Not only can you make these cute Christmas bliss balls without turning on the oven, they’re also a fabulous, weight loss friendly healthy sweet treat
