Some Good Christmas Recipe Links
I thought I'd give you some links to some tasty recipes that I use for Christmas.
Holiday Poke Cake
This first one is the recipe for the cake that we always called the "Jesus Birthday Cake". Mom only made it at Christmas, and we would put candles on it and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. It's a very pretty cake with the red and green http://brands.kraftfoods.com/jello/recipe.aspxs=recipe&m=recipe/knet_recipe_display&wf=9&recipe_id=53185
Orange-Chip Cranberry Bread
Here is a tasty bread recipe that is perfect for this time of year- complete with cranberries and walnuts, and a little orange zest for an added flavor. This is a good recipe to bake in small bread loaves and give as gifts to neighbors and friends.
