<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Recently, I threw a winter-themed bridal shower brunch
for my sister. I was looking for cute, but tasty foods to round out the menu
and stumbled across this idea on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. While good for any season, the
wreath shape fit my theme perfectly, was simple to make, and was a delicious
hit with the guests. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided</span><br />

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Scramble eggs on the
stovetop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">On a cookie sheet or pizza pan, lay out the
crescent rolls in a circle, with the thicker ends slightly overlapping (like a
sunburst). Place a strip of bacon on each roll. (Tip: Though I am a crispy
bacon-lover, when cooking your bacon, don't allow it to get too crisp to
maintain flexibility.) Sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese around the circular
ring, on top of the bacon. Add scrambled eggs and top with another 1/3 of
cheese. Fold over the ends of the crescents so that they meet in the middle,
creating a wreath shape. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 17 minutes or
until crescent is golden brown. Serve hot.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>If you haven’t
discovered the popular <a href="http://www.elfontheshelf.com/" target="_blank">Elf on the Shelf</a> tradition yet, you are missing out! Mini
elves are sent from the North Pole to keep an eye on little boys and girls
during the holiday season, reporting back to Santa about behavior. Each night,
the elf (named by your child) travels back to the North Pole to deliver his
messages and sometimes gets into a little mischief upon his/her return. While
there is some debate over whether or not the elves should cause mischief, do
good deeds, or simply just move around, the choice is really yours. <o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>Our elf, Jingles,
was a huge hit this year and our kiddo is counting down the days to his return.
He arrived the day after Thanksgiving and kept us entertained until Santa
arrived on Christmas Eve night. If you’ve never experienced an Elf on the Shelf
or just need some new schemes, here are 30 ideas to get you started.</i> </div>

<br />
<i> </i>For Bread:<br />
1 1/2 cups flour<br />
1/4 tsp. salt<br />
3/4 tsp. baking powder<br />
1 egg<br />
1/2 plus 1 tablespoon cooking oil<br />
1 1/8 cups sugar<br />
3/4 cup milk<br />
3/4 tablespoon poppy seeds<br />
3/4 tsp. almond extract<br />
3/4 tsp. vanilla<br />
3/4 tsp. butter extract<br />
<br />
For Glaze: <br />
1/8 cup orange juice<br />
1/4 tsp. vanilla<br />
1/4 tsp. almond extract<br />
1/4 tsp. butter extract<br />
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar<br />
<br />
(*Note: The reason that some of my measurements may seem funny is because I only made half a recipe (1 loaf) instead of 2 loaves, which follows the <a href="http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2010/06/poppyseed-bread-from-not-so-desperate.html">original recipe.</a>)<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease loaf pan and set aside. <br />
<br />
2. Mix all ingrediants together. Pour into prepared loaf pan.<br />
<br />
3. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. <br />
<br />
4. Cool bread in pan slightly before transferring to plate. Pour glaze over warm bread. Enjoy! <br />
<br />
To make glaze: Heat all ingredients in saucepan and cook on medium until sugar is dissolved.<br />
<br />

the oil is hot enough by dropping a small spoonful of batter into the pot. If
it begins to fry quickly, your oil is ready.) Fry fish, turning frequently,
until the batter is deep golden and the fish is cooked through. Transfer to a
paper towel. Serve with French fries.</div>
