Finally tried Grandmother‘s Famous Cranberry Bread! The recipe called for light raisins, which sounded like an interesting twist. They went surprisingly well with the cranberries, but I think I‘ll stick to just cranberries in the future. 😄 (Also, an orange glaze is a must!)

Tamra Yum! Orange glaze 😋 6mo
TheBookHippie We make this every year with golden raisins ! Yummm 6mo
Aimeesue This is one of my favorite books from childhood! I ❤️ Mr. Whiskers! 6mo

mabell @Tamra There‘s always room for a little extra sweet 😄 6mo
mabell @TheBookHippie Oh, how cool! This was a completely new concept to me! I‘ve had cranberry bread with nuts, but never raisins. I‘m glad I gave it a try! 6mo
mabell @Aimeesue Suffering codfish! 🤣 6mo
Aimeesue @mabell 🤣🤣🤣 6mo
TheBookHippie @mabell several tree nut allergies in my family so by nature I‘m use to having other things in place of nuts 🙂. I love this whole series of books FYI. 6mo
mcipher Oh this is a blast from the past - I used to read this series with my grandmother! ❤️ (edited) 6mo
mabell @TheBookHippie That makes sense! I love this series too - the setting, the characters - it‘s really timeless. And the recipes are fun 😄 6mo
mabell @mcipher Oh that‘s a great memory! 💕 Such great stories and perfect for reading together! 6mo
robinb Oh my goodness! I have that very same book! Doesn‘t it have a “Mr. Whiskers” in it?? 😂 I remember being a bit afraid of the artwork of him. 😳😳🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo
mabell @robinb That‘s funny you have it too! One of my absolute favorites! Love Mr. Whiskers 😂❤️ 6mo
Tamra It‘s so tasty! Thank you for posting! (We leave the raisins out.) 4mo
mabell @Tamra It was fun to see your post! And I was reading your notes to see the changes you made. Not including raisins I think would make it more cake-like! 4mo

I‘m so happy to have my sweet girl with me on this Thanksgiving! She‘s enjoying the fire at Gigi and Papa‘s house, and I‘m enjoying a reread of one of my favorites. This is such a terrific story and the illustrations are amazing. I appreciated them even more this time around. I also now have to try Grandmother‘s Famous Cranberry Bread - with light raisins - a unique twist!

Aimeesue That was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. Mr. Whiskers! ❤️ 1y

#Thankful2020
Today is a tough day and very stressful, but such a great day to thank God for all of the blessings he puts in my life.
Today I am especially thankful for my church choral choir friends, and even though I choose not to go help sing and record tonight the fact that we are able to provide that ministry and outreach to people of the KC area.

Not book related but we made a second Thanksgiving dinner today. We needed a little holiday cheer as we self quarantine. The kid‘s loved it and we have leftovers for the week. It really brought everyone‘s spirits up.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great idea! 4y
Texreader Yes! I do that periodically. It‘s lovely. Too good not to have more than once a year (edited) 4y

Not book related but I‘ve been home all day reading and cleaning and also went through my pictures and saw the recipe I took a screenshot of by @Cinfhen and so I made it in two different batches. I‘ve tried a little while it was piping hot and my goodness it‘s divine.
Am I the only one that feels accomplished when I bake something? 🙋🏻‍♀️ no one? Okay! 😂

All the favorite Thanksgiving reads!!!! Turkeys thawing in my fridge for Thanksgiving Dinner at the youth center, next week is what I lovingly refer to as the food Olympics!!! Once Monday hits I cook until Friday. I have so much to be thankful for, but I'll start with the gratitude I have for the opportunity and ability to be a full time volunteer. 💕💕💕💕💕

For all those #FriYayIntro peeps who disliked cranberry anything, I promise this recipe will sway you😋I generally use 5 peeled & diced Granny Smith apples instead of the can filling & I add 1/2 Cup of chopped pecan halves...I‘ve also substituted apples with fresh pears 🍐 🍐 🍐 It‘s delicious and a real crowd pleaser! Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart 💕#CranAppleBake
