Cranberry Crunch Bark...

I've been working on holiday cards most of this week, and needed a break to recharge my creative batteries.  My son Stephen helped me to make some cranberry crunch bark as a sweet treat for my family for the holidays.

Our project from start to finish was a little over 30 minutes...he did the chopping and measuring of the almonds and sweetened cranberries, and I did most of the stirring.

It was a great opportunity for us to spend some time together...if you have teenagers in your house, you know it can sometimes be a challenge to get them to do anything with parental units!

This recipe is a definite "keeper"...it's called "festive cranberry crunch bark" and is in the Pampered Chef Holiday 2007 "Guide to Gifts and Entertaining" booklet.

Enjoy!

It's Storytime...

If you're still in the early years of reading to your little ones, let me make a suggestion for some new books to add to your "bedtime toolkit"...it's the Roxanne Adrianna Wafflestone series of children's books authored by Sherry Cutrer.

With titles like "Roxanne and Ruby the Rug" and "Roxanne and George the Green Genie", the stories are full of rich detail and have been "kid-tested"--Sherry reads regularly to the lower grades at the school where she's a fearless language arts teacher by day.
