A couple of weeks ago I received the September / November issue of Midwest Living. I flipped through the magazine just to look at the pictures and when I was done I found myself craving something I’ve never craved before. Fall.
Sure, I’ve looked forward to apple desserts full of cinnamon-sugar deliciousness…the smell of new pencils at the start of school…tangy apple cider…wearing cozy sweaters. I love those things, but I’ve never really truly wanted fall before it actually arrived. Now I can’t wait for the rustle of leaves and a bite in the air!
I’ve decided to celebrate the arrival of fall with a fabulous-looking recipe published in the recent Midwest Living magazine. When that first day of nippy weather arrives I’ll bake Almond-Cranberry Bread with White Chocolate Glaze, make some tea and find a good book.
Yes, that’s my recipe for happiness.

This looks divine…have you tried it yet? I printed out the recipe…
I just picked up some Wisconsin-grown cranberries and am planning to stir up this bread on Friday. I’ll let you know how it turns out — I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good results.
