Cranberry Nut Bread II
Very tasty, easy bread to make, did a few changes. I doubled the recipe, hate to go thru all of that work for one loaf. Then I added and extra egg, and instead of the butter added 1/2 cup of vegtable oil, also added about a tablespoon of cinnamon, hey what is a holiday bread without cinnamon!!! I baked 4 loaves, 2 little ones and 2 bigger ones, perfect, delecious, pretty and great last minute gifts.

Banana Cream Pie with Caramel Drizzle
This is very simple, tasty, & always a hit. What I do a little differently is to use 1 box of vanilla pudding and one box of banana cream pudding, kind of gives it a more homemade banana flavor, & when you can find it use the vanilla flavor Cool Whip, enjoy.

Raw Apple Pound Cake
Very good, made a little change, only 1 3/4 cups sugar, also added about 4 oz. of apple sauce that made it very moist. Served it with fresh whipped cream & it was delecious. Have shared recipe & it always goes over quite well. - A KEEPER for sure. MJ
