MERRY CHRISTMAS...!!

I have been blessed to win TWO beautiful GOOSEBERRY COOKBOOKS...They are, without a doubt, the most amazing cookbooks....filled with delicious sounding
recipes, little bits of this and that....

I just read them like a novel, with my morning cup of DUNKIN DONUT coffee...
If you plan to buy a new cookbook anytime soon, consider looking at
the GOOSEBERRY PATCH ones....

I made this recipe tonight...
We go to BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER'S house early on CHRISTMAS morning for
a light little breakfast and to see what SANTA brought everyone....
I wanted something nice and delicious and pretty to take and this
sounded so good....

This bread loaf has pecans...

I had some left over cranberry sauce and, not wanting to throw them out,
I mixed a little powdered sugar and a touch of milk and made a great
CRANBERRY glaze to go over this good-looking loaf.

Once we visit and see all the kids treasures from ole ST. NICK,
we head out for HANDSOM SON'S house, 22 miles away from his sister.....
There, we have a light brunch and ooo and ahhh over all the goodies left for everyone.

I have rediscovered Gooseberry Patch in the last couple of years. They do have THE BEST recipes. I am kicking myself now because I was at Costco yesterday and there was a large Gooseberry Patch cookbook in a binder that I decided not to purchase and now I am sorry I didn't. It was only sixteen dollars and some change. It retailed for $30.00! Maybe I will go back tomorrow. Well maybe not. It is getting crazy out there. I will go the day after Christmas. :) :)
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I know you will enjoy cooking wonderful things out of those books. Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the recipes. They look yummy! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! Patti
Oh BJ...
You had me at Gooseberry's. I love those darn cookbooks. I am always checking the thrift stores and the garage sales for these wonderful books of love. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you also for the dipping tip passed along on the cookies. I will be trying those out this week. Sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing sweetie. I love it when you do. The grandkids will love them.
Country hugs and so much love, Sherry

LUV LUV LUV Gooseberry Patch. I have a few of their craft books as well as cookbooks and I like to decorate with them. Don't just leave them on the shelf, use them as decoration according to what season it is. Their covers are always adorable.
