Nifty Thrifty Tues. Finds


Check out the sweet little tray I found at T. J. Maxx this week!

End of season sale & only $2.50!!!

I immediately had to fill it with something & since I had

a carton of Eggnog that I wanted to use up,

(Hubby requested I buy it & then had ONE glass & was tired of it!)

~~insert rolled eyes~~

I made this recipe I found at Cooks.com.



EGGNOG CHERRY NUTBREAD



2 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 c. eggnog
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. nuts, chopped
1/2 c. cherries, cut up

Mix dry ingredients. Add eggnog, egg and oil. Mix well. Pour into greased bread pans. (One large or two small)
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Test center for doneness.






This made a tasty sweet treat, perfect for dessert

with a cup of coffee or tea.

As you can see, hubby got into it before I could even take a picture!

I'm joining Linda at


Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays


I also found 12 of these beautiful placemats with matching napkins on sale.




Stop back on Wed. evening & you'll see the tablescape I did with them.


Thanks to Linda for hosting & thank YOU for stopping by The Gazebo House.

  3. Your pretty fall plate is perfect for that yummy eggnog cherry bread. I stopped by Home Goods yesterday, but no luck. I'm looking forward to seeing your new placemats and napkins.

  4. Love the plate Rett, our TJ's didn't have much this year for the holiday. I did pass up a plate at Home Goods when I was in Ohio that I could kick myself over now. Me rolling eyes....

    That bread looks inviting, I've never tried eggnog but I sure would be willing to give this bread a spin. Thanks for sharing the recipe and I look forward to your tablescape this week.

  7. Hi Rett!
    I love shopping at T.J. Maxx ( and Home Goods and Marshalls..lol)! I really have to restrain myself sometimes to not get carried away by all the goodies or sale.

    That is an adorable plate and the Eggnog Cherry Nut Bread on it looks so delicious! That is a nice recipe to make when the holidays roll around and eggnog is so plentiful!

  11. Oh Rett, This recipe sure sounds like it will be good! It has everything I like in it. The only eggnog I like is from United Dairy Farmers. No grocery store brand compares, IMHO!! Re: your cute new tray- Don't you just love bargains?
    hugs, Sue
