Gumdrop Bread

November 27, 2018 by Dana 1 Comment

At the annual cookie party my Aunt ‘Thann used to throw when we were kids, not only would each family get to take home a bucket of Christmas cookies but we would also get a loaf of bread – like this Gumdrop Bread. It’s kind of like a version of a fruitcake but made with…

Blackberry Champagne Christmas Sparkler

December 23, 2017 by Dana 2 Comments

Tory and I decided it would be fun to make a traditional Christmas cocktail every year and post it on the blog.  And since our approach to blogging is to post the things we actually make and eat – and not make holiday meals weeks early just so we can post them – this means…
