Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Buone Feste Natalizie!
If your family is anything like mine, come Christmas morning, you’re sitting around the tree, relishing in each others company while watching the smiles and appreciation envelop your loved as they unwrap their presents. Honestly, what a joyous time of the year!
Once the merriment of gift exchanging is over, us “Zabel’s” inevitably run towards the kitchen to nosh on something sweet and delish while the rest of the morning meal comes together. Typically this includes the latest Entenmanns Donut Holes picked up by Mama Z; however, this year I decided I would bring a new Simple Swap member to the party… Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins.
Though I can’t guarantee when they come face to face with the donut holes they’ll win, but hey, it’s another option… right?!
Enjoy your holiday and as Tiny Tim once said, “A Merry Christmas to us all; God bless us, everyone.”
