Has the baking bug bit you yet? This house is filled with all the wonderful smells of Christmas! Tonight I made one of my Daughters favorite treats. Glazed Coconut Bread is easy to make, and is perfect for your holiday get-to-gethers. This quick bread is really delicious, and the glaze over the crunchy top is to die for…..well almost. I’ve actually got two recipes for this bread, and chose to make the recipe with buttermilk. It seems to stay really soft on the inside, and has the Coconut glazed, crispy decadent top on the outside. I hope you are all enjoying your holiday baking. If not, then…..”Get Off Your Butt and Bake!”
