And for a little something to take home with you we offer a sweet ~ moist Hawaiian Banana Bread and Cookies that vary from weekend to weekend from Banana Cookies, to Chocolate Chip, to Oatmeal and Raisin as well as White and Whole Wheat Hearth and Country Breads made the old fashioned way (no mixers). Feel free to place a special order for any of these in advance. I bake breads, cakes and cookies on Thursday. Bread Pudding, Coffee Cakes, and Crazy Crust Apple Pie are baked right before I arrive at Christmas House so that they arrive warm straight out of the oven.

From our neighbor, Ms. Erma's kitchen, you found coconut creme pie, chocolate creme pie, apple pie, berry pie, cakes, and sour dough bread.
~
And you can top the breads off with special jams or jellies made by our other neighbor ~ Ms. Carol of Davis Gardens. Who also has some wonderful gift baskets made up with her jams and jellies. One of our families favorites is the Banana Nut Bread Butter. It is a secret recipe that Ms. Carol developed herself.
~
Due to the needs of our growing family and business Willow Mountain Mushrooms is no longer serving in the tea room. Mrs Erma Miller has taken over with Erma's Delight. And boy is it delicious!
