Bread Anyone?



Apricot Almond Bread

Many of you know that I have sold homemade breads for several years now. It is something that I enjoy doing and it gets me into the holiday spirit. My customers always start asking around October if I am planning on selling my breads again that year and the answer is always a resounding, "Yes!" As long as there are loyal customers, I will always be selling my breads.

So if you would like to order any of my delicious breads for your Christmas dinner or as a gift for a friend, here are the details:

Cranberry Bread—our #1 seller—a tangy bread that mixes the bold flavors of fresh cranberries with orange zest and the nutty flavor of pecans.

Pumpkin Bread—a traditional spiced bread using real pumpkin and the holiday flavors of nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon.

Orange Raisin Bread—a tangy bread that mixes real navel oranges with the sweetness of golden raisins and the mildness of walnuts.

Apricot Almond Bread—a sweet and comforting bread that infuses the subtle flavor of fresh almonds with the sweetness of apricots.

Cherry Pistachio Bread—a sweet cake-like bread with a bold pistachio flavor and the sweetness of ruby red maraschino cherries.

All breads come in a large family-size loaf and are $13.00 each. All breads come topped with a holiday bow for easy gift-giving. All orders must be made by November 22nd. Money for all orders must be received by Nov. 30th. Please no post-dated checks. Breads will be delivered on December 17th at 6pm at the Cary Church Building. If you would like to order, please shoot me an email at marilynrood@hotmail.com with the type of bread that you would like. I accept cash or check. Make all checks out to Marilyn Tom.

Enjoy!

Fundraisers

In November, Matt and I started the first of two fundraisers for our adoption. Our first fundraiser was a Movie Night at our house and we showed the movie "Martian Child,"which is about adoption, and served root beer floats. It was very successful. Eighteen people showed up. It was standing room only before the end of the night.





Matt and I also took advantage of the holiday season and decided to make Cranberry Nut bread to sell for the Christmas season. We spent the Thanksgiving weekend at my mother's house making loaves to sell to her co-workers. Lucky for us, the Cranberry Bread recipe has never failed and we sold all of the loaves we made.
