My husband made the following request, "Please make the Matt family cranberry bread for Christmas morning." Now, when his Mom makes this bread, it's amazing. I was getting a little paranoid, thinking that it wasn't going to turn out well and my poor husband would have inadequate cranberry bread to partake of on Christmas morning. Having expressed those concerns to my man, his response, with his cute little smile, is simply, "I don't think it's hard to make at all!" Thanks honey! Now I'm really paranoid. ;)
Well, my worries were in vain. It was NOT that hard to make and it was still yummy. However, I believe food is always better when you don't have to prepare it yourself so...Momma Matt may just have to make the next batch. ;)
