Although a lot of people may struggle this time of yr. with weight and
and other weight-related issues, baking can be therapeutic.

Therapeutic how?
The scent of cookies baking can help transform you back to a time 
when things were less complicated, happy and carefree.
You may also remember the times you spent with grandma or mom 
or other relatives and that can also help you feel more safe and secure.

So, if you were reluctant to bake for fear it may trigger a binge,
just think of those cookies or that pie as stress relievers.
And if you don't want to bake, but want the scent of something baking,
do this...place a piece of aluminum foil in the oven, pour on a little
vanilla extract, some cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Turn on the oven
to 250 degrees, and leave it on for 15 to 30 mins.
Memories of mom, grandma and cousins will come flooding back.
