Can't Pass By a Deal!



Aren't these gorgeous? I went shopping yesterday (of course, I wasn't going to spend ANYTHING) but I couldn't pass by these flowers I saw on sale at Pottery Barn. Oh, what a beautiful sight to greet me as I come home at night.

1.5 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat Oven to 350.

1. Cream butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla

3. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt to mixture
4. Fold in cranberries and nuts
