A Thanksgiving Surprise!

Okay, I’m going to be right up front and tell you that I have no recipe to share. Nope, the pumpkin bread I baked came from a – gasp – box purchased at Walmart! Well, hey, Pillsbury has a real good mix, if I do say so. I bought that blue box off the shelf,…

Fuitcake Cookies
