Applesauce Bread
I delivered a big loaf of applesauce bread to some friends the other day. Their response? “This bread tastes JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS!” Ah, you’ve gotta love delivering a nice loaf of Christmas to someone!
Kettle Corn
¼ cup oil
¼ cup sugar
½ cup popcorn kernels
Heat oil, add sugar and popcorn. Shake the pot back and forth till the popping slows. Carefully dump kettle corn in a large bowl and sprinkle w/a little salt.
Pretzel Wreaths
I got this idea from my very clever (beautiful, intelligent, talented, sweet….) sister-in-law, Michele. These are very easy to make and oh-so-cute! See instructions here.
Merry Christmas and a HOPPY New Year Card!

Thanks for the applesauce bread recipe. I was looking for the perfect thing to make for neighbors. Without nuts or any controversial foods (who doesn’t like applesauce?), this will be sure to be a hit. Thanks!

The applesauce is a regular in our house, thanks to your recipe!
The frog is OH, SO CUTE! Thanks for sharing.
About the kettle corn . . . I LOVE this stuff (like you LOVE fudge), but I cannot make it without burning it! What’s the secret? I shake that pan continuously, but I still burn it.
Have a safe trip! Merry CHRISTmas!!

I’m making homemade applesauce right now and I think some of it may have to go into some of that applesauce bread. It looks heavenly. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!

Thank you for the recipes. I am starting my baking the minute I get the last gift wrapped which better be by Friday. I think I have some jars of homemade applesauce in the pantry. Hmmm.
