I won’t go on and on about how hard it is to believe that it’s officially the holiday season, but can you believe it’s officially the holiday season?! =) We all have certain foods or flavors that we look forward to during this time of the year. This Cranberry Crumble coffee cake from Taste of Home is one of mine. I’ve already told you how much I love cranberry anything, but this coffee cake is super good. It’s moist. It’s got the tart cranberry ribbon in the middle, and it has a yummy crumbly topping on top. It’s great for breakfast, brunch or dessert. It also freezes well. I made one during Thanksgiving time. I’m sure another one will be in the near future for a Christmas gathering.
If you need something to take to a get-together, this would be a super choice because it will get rave reviews and it feeds a crowd!

Sorry I didn’t post much last week, but as you can see in the previous post to this one, we’ve had a family emergency. We’re still dealing with my Mother-in-law’s health issues. She’s still in ICU, but doing much better. We are expecting some important test results back in the next day or so. If I miss posting, that will be the reason. Thanks for your prayers for her, and for us as we care for her needs.
