I love to bake! When I was a child it was something I did with both my parents and grandparents. In my family it was sugar cookies for Christmas, but peanut butter, chocolate chip, and snickerdoodles for just whenever occasions.

We had banana bread whenever the bananas got overripe, and the bonanza of zucchini from the garden became zucchini bread for weeks on end.
