Know your limits, but never stop trying to exceed them. ~Author Unknown

You know the saying - a man should know his limitations.  Well, yes you should know your limitations but don't make them so narrow that you can easily achieve them and be happy in that.  Choose to exceed your limitations and see how far you will go.  Some people will say they can't do things because, because, because -- to me I hear blah, blah, blah : )

Don't tell me I can't do something because I am determined to prove you wrong.  I am stubborn and a little hard headed -- and don't ask my husband because he will say I am not a 'little' but completely.  Sometimes, he exaggerates things : ).  Today I will be working on my website again until it is done.  There is a song that is stuck in my head today.  "Hide Thou Me" by the Gaithers.  I love this song.  Well, I better get to work to accomplish my tasks today.

Hope you are enjoying the recipes that I am posting here.  Today, I am sharing a recipe for cranberry nut bread made with canned cranberry sauce so that you can use up the leftover cans from Thanksgiving. 

Happy Monday,

Cranberry Nut Bread

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 14-ounce can Ocean Spray® Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
1 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan.   (I like the mini loaf pans so it's easy to give as gifts to friends and family.)
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small mixing bowl; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine with sugar in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg; mix well. Break up cranberry sauce with a fork and add to the butter mixture. Add nuts. Add dry ingredients to the cranberry mixture, mixing just until the dry ingredients are moist.
Spread batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If bread begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil and continue to bake until bread tests done.
Makes 1 loaf.
