Yummy Christmas Treat

  Good morning!!

I hope you've enjoyed a weeks worth of projects made with the Country Living Holiday Collection Kit!!  Today is the last project and it has a funny story.

I was struggling with the last project and wasn't sure what it was going to be.....and then I looked over and saw the present that Jennifer brought me...I was about to tear into it and start eating and it occurred to me that the word "Enjoy" would go perfect with this gift!! 

See how beautiful it was when Jennifer gave it to me....

 

Thanks Jenn...it was yummy.....tell me...what was it?  I liked it so much I didn't share any with my family :O    I normally bake cookies for Christmas gifts but I'm thinking I may have to use this idea.

Have a great day!!

Thank you Angie/Jennifer for the recipe! It sounds wonderful and a lot easier than making dozens of cookies!

I'm glad you enjoyed the bread! It was a Cranberry Nut Bread and the recipe is on the back of the bag of Ocean Spray fresh cranberries. I used Pecans instead of walnuts because that is what I had! There is orange juice in it also--so lots of yummy flavors rolling around in there!

Very cute, what a nice gift to recieve. I'm wondering if the bag is the same as the party goodie bags? I would also love to know what is inside, it looks delish!

Neat idea. What's inside the bag looks very interesting. Will you let us know what it is too? Yum, yum! :)
