Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread Recipe

 

cranberry, pistachio cinamon bread 006

A coworker of mine wanted a recipe for a cinnamon quick bread. So I told her I would find her one and make it for our Thanksgiving breakfast party. Our little parties really only last about 20 minutes but it’s fun to eat, laugh and share!

We really don't need a reason to celebrate, everyday is a celebration with these girls. We have so much fun together. I can say I love my job because of these girls and the others too! But we do take every opportunity we can get to throw a little party..cranberry, pistachio cinamon bread 086

So I brought this cinnamon quick bread and a pitcher of Vietnamese Coffee.

cranberry, pistachio cinamon bread 084 It sure had cinnamon all right. I really liked this bread but maybe just a little to much cinnamon for me.  Next time I will cut back and use 2 teaspoons! But that was just me. You decide!

  13. I'm strolling in to catch up and especially to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving!
    It's such a wonderful time to stop and reflect on all those we cherish and are truly grateful for.
    Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to visit and leave feeling inspired!

    Even though our Thanksgiving is very small in number, with hubby and son (we don't count the cat cause she doesn't like turkey). We don't scrimp on the menu...from appetizers to desserts with several carb loaded dishes in between! We will be enjoying tryptophan playoffs too!

    Sweet Holiday wishes,
    Sara
