I surprised Colt and the kids with this Cranberry Orange Coffeecake With Brown Sugar Crumb the other day to let them know just how thankful I am for them.
It's a favorite Fall dessert recipe and Cranberry Cake recipe for Christmas morning.
Colt even brought a few slices into work to share.
It happens to be a favorite in our house with the lightly sweetened airy spiced cake filled with little bites of bursting cranberries, flecks of orange zest and plenty of crunchy brown sugar crumb for the perfect balance of holiday flavor.
The last few years I have really tried to remember to be thankful everyday for my family, our health, a warm house and a roof over our head.
I am so thankful to have spent so much of my childhood with my Grandparents learning what life was like before cars and televisions.
Growing up Granny had shared pictures of her family's horse and buggy they used to transport produce to the market. It was always a great reminder to be thankful for modern day transportation.
Life can become so busy it's easy to forget how lucky we are to have clean running water and Internet.
I don't think life is ever easy, but I think when you take time to give thanks it makes what you have in your life so much more fulfilling.
For me I am Thankful to have had a day where I could make this Cranberry Orange Coffeecake and a husband who spends his lunch hour with me on the phone.
I'm thankful for each of my kids because they each teach me something new everyday.
I love how unique they are!
I am Thankful for each day I have and to be able to share the recipe for this delectable cake with you.
What are you thankful for this holiday season?
I am definitely thankful to share how to make this Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake with you.
