Do You Have A Heart for Hunger Relief?

Valentine’s Day has just passed but hunger remains for our hungry neighbors. 

The morning brings yet another day of making tough choices between paying

rent or filling empty bellies.

Make room in your heart and budget for those in need. A $50 gift (the cost of

dining out for two) can provide 250 meals for families facing hunger. Every $1

you generously give provides 5 meals to our neighbors because of our

relationships and purchasing power.

This recipe is simple because it only requires a handful of ingredients, most of which you definitely have around if you occasionally bake. Plus, there’s only about 10-15 minutes of preparation before you throw the bread in the oven! I don’t know about you, but that’s my kind of recipe.  1) Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.  2) In another bowl, or in a stand mixer, cream together butter, sugar, and eggs and then add the buttermilk , f lour, and baking soda.  3) Divide 1/2 of the batter into two greased loaf pans (in other words, 1/4 of the mix in each pan) . Sprinkle some of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter in each pan, reserving about 1/4 to sprinkle on the tops.  4) Evenly add remaining batter to your two pans, and then sprinkle on the rest of your cinnamon topping.  5) Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or unti l baked through. Cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy!
