It might be hot outside, but around Cathy’s Kitchen, we’re sprinkling a little Christmas cheer into the middle of summer!
Why? Because I’ve learned that doing a few small things now makes the holidays so much more enjoyable later. Whether it’s finding a new favorite cookie recipe, starting a holiday side hustle, or simply joining in on a little festive fun, this is the perfect week to get a head start.
So, here are this week’s 3 Bites from Cathy’s Kitchen!
🧁 Cathy’s Pantry Pick: Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake Mix
If you’ve only used our Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake Mix to make…well…pound cake, you’re missing out!

One of my absolute favorite ways to use it is to make soft, chewy cookies that taste like they came straight from a bakery. They’re buttery, rich, and perfect for cookie trays, holiday parties, or enjoying with a cup of coffee.
This recipe has become one of my holiday favorites because it’s simple to make, freezes beautifully, and always disappears fast!
