If we were having coffee and bizcochitos

If we were having coffee,  I'd greet you with a great big hug (if you're amenable to such things) and tell you how happy I am to see you! It's been far too long since we've sat together and I'm so very happy you're here! I'd ask you how you're doing, how your family is, and how your holidays are…

Twisted Berry Nut Bread

Twisted Berry Nut Bread

This is an old favorite that I essentially forgot about until recently.  It is not a quick process, but it's worth the effort and is a handy bread to keep around for mornings that are rushed and you need something to grab and take with you. Of course, it's also delicious when you're relaxing with a cup of hot tea…
