Merry Christmas sweet friends! I’m so glad you stopped by Wanda’s Kitchen today. I am linking up to Balancing Beauty and Bedlam as part of a Progressive Dinner. You can check out the entire Progressive Dinner here.
I’m sharing one of my favorite bread recipes….Poppyseed Bread. Yum! Yum! I was given this bread for Christmas years ago and I fell in love with it (so did my Mom and my sister). We have made it many times over the years and we love to wrap it up and take it to people as a small gift. It’s great for neighbors, teachers, co-workers and anyone else that needs some holiday cheer.
