The small bite for this week is cranberries.
Cranberries can be so versitile... especially around the holidays. I am anxious to see what kind of treats everyone comes up with.

This sounds like a delicious combination for biscotti, and they look so very festive!
These sound super tasty! I wanted to let you know I'm buying Whistlestop Cafe's Apple Crisp mix for my next order :) Yours is MUCH better than mine!

My friend Judy just let me know that I didn't have the amount of cranberries in the recipe. Thanks Tour Mama!
Misty~ Thank you for the compliment. I love that apple crisp and it can get much easier.
I don't have a blog, but wanted to share a recipe with you. It's short and sweet but really, really good. It makes wonderful gifts and is great on toast or English muffins.

Cranberries and ginger combination sounds creative and super flavorful.
I bet it must go wonderfully with cookies and cake.
Thanks for the inspiration!
