Melissa and I were invited to speak in Lexington and we had the pleasure of seeing Tootsie Nelson speak and cook! She does a Cooking Show on Channel 18 in Lexington. This was one of the recipes that was cooked for us! It was WONDERFUL!

That orange cranberry delight really does sound like a delight. This looks like an ideal breakfast.
This bread looks so delicious and I think I should make it for my daughter. She just had a baby yesterday (which I got to witness) and tomorrow, I am going to stay with her for a few days and want to make her special things. She would love this.
Congratulations on the new baby!!! How exciting! She will love it! We did!
Can’t wait to make this. Thank you for the recipe!
This looks so good. I think it will make a gorgeous gift in our Christmas gift baskets! Thank you
What a Christmas-y recipe! Yum!
I see there is a typo with the recipe. You list salt down twice then you talk about adding baking soda in the recipe at some point but didn’t list it as an ingredient. I assume one of the salt’s was suppose to be baking soda. I am making this now and assumed the baking soda was the 1 1/2 teaspoon measurement. Let’s hope that was right!
