Pumpkin Cranberry Bread Mix

While surfing the internet for pumpkin recipes, I came across the Nestles' Very Best Baking website, here I found recipes that are easy and yet, also found some that are challenging . It also has some really fun gift ideas, which I am planning on using during the Holiday season.

The first recipe I tried was the Pumpkin Cranberry Bread. I made several loaves and sent them to friends to see what their reactions would be..............Everyone loved it............My husband has a friend named Greg, who NEVER eats sweets, he tried it and loved it.

The blend of Pumpkin with the tangy tartness of the cranberries is fantastic.

Send a special gift to a friend or loved one...........Here's how
