For Unto Us A Child Is Born
Christmas is a time of gift-giving, and a time to remember that we already have the greatest Gift anyone could have—the gift of God’s Son, Jesus! I had been thinking about including this Bible verse from Isaiah in my last Christmas post of the year. And then just today I received a Christmas card with the…

Peppermint Hot Cocoa
This is a quick, easy treat you can enjoy on a cold day or evening during the holiday season. It’s always fun to use candy canes in recipes, too…they make everything seem more festive! This recipe is made with a packet of your favorite hot cocoa mix. Only you make it with milk instead of…

Egg Nog Bread
One of the things I enjoy about Christmas is the chance to have some eggnog. I don’t drink a lot of eggnog, but I do enjoy some now and then at the holidays. I thought it would be fun to try using eggnog in a recipe, so I made this Egg Nog Bread! I added…

Sweet Potato Bread
I still have more pumpkin recipes I want to try, but I thought I’d make something with sweet potatoes, just for a change. 🙂 I saw this recipe in an issue of Country Living, and it sounded really good. It’s actually called Sweet Potato Pound Cake, but I thought the texture was more like a sweet…

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread
Since I am well-stocked up on pumpkin, I decided it was time to try another pumpkin recipe. This recipe caught my eye at About.com…it stood out to me because it has cream cheese in it and everything I make that includes cream cheese as an ingredient always seems to turn out good! So pumpkin bread…

Pumpkin Bundt Cake
There’s something about autumn that makes me want to bake and eat pumpkin-flavored things. Apparently I’m not the only one who feels that way—when I went to buy some canned pumpkin, I had to go to three grocery stores before I finally found some! Looks like everyone is stocking up on it! With the canned…
