Operation Baking Gals

Last week as I was reviewing the posts of my fellow SMS Bakers, I came across Julie's post about the "Baking Gals." I've seen Operation Baking Gals on quite a few blogs. I immediately became intrigued and read on and then as if I don't have enough to do in my life, I found myself joining.

Baking GALS (GALS stands for Give A Little Support) is a group of volunteer bakers from around the country who bake and ship homemade goodies to our heroic military men and women who are currently deployed in a war zone. The goal is to show our support and send a little bit of home to remind them that we appreciate all that they do for our freedom.

I joined Team "Baking Buddies" and we're baking for Patrick F., the son of a teacher in the Bronx, NYC (this is what caught my attention right away N-Y-C!). He is 23 years old and a PFC in the Marines. Right now he is in Afghanistan, but we don't know exactly where.

I made Snickerdoodles, one of my favorite SMS recipes.
