Enjoy these Yummy Holiday Recipes
From Kara Lynn Russell:
Cranberry Christmas Punch
Ingredients:
1 bottle Cranberry juice
1 2 liter bottle Ginger Ale
1 can condensed lemonade, thawed
Mix ingredients, chill and enjoy. This makes about 1 gallon of punch.
This is a very simple recipe but my family loves it. I didn’t make it one year because I thought they might be tired of it. I ended up making a last minute trip to the grocery store for the ingredients because everyone insisted we had to have it.

Ooooh, this punch looks good!
And so do both your books. :) I'm glad to see stories about a shy heroine (1) and a professional athlete(2)...
**adds to [growing huge] wish list**
Cranberries are so good for you and pumpkin just feels so homey!

Yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Kara, I like your punch recipe. A friend and I were just discussing if we'll do punch and cookies at church after the Christmas Eve service and she suggested a hot and cold punch. This would be a good one to have.
I've been making the pumpkin bread for years now. I received the recipe from a friend (who actually cooked pumpkins to get it for the recipe....me, I use canned). It's really good, and my girls love it. And as I said, it's nice to make for gifts, too.

I love pumpkin bread! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll definitely be trying it over the holidays.
THANKS for sharing today! The punch makes me thirsty - have to go get some tea and water...
And the pumpkin bread sounds yummy. My DH cooks and we like to take a Christmas gift to our neighbors so I'm going to show him this recipe!
