Every Christmas as a child, I unwrapped the Brown Sugar Grandma ornament, a plump, pink-cheeked, white-haired figure. When today’s guest, Liz, told me about her grandmother’s Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bread recipe, I thought I had found the real-life version of that Christmas ornament. However, as Liz’s interview shows - even a grandmother who smells like cinnamon is a real person. Virginia Dayton was, to Liz, love and strength - a pillar that could be a pill. In other words, she was like you and me.
Below is a picture of Virginia Dayton, Liz's beloved Grandmother, and baker of the famous award-winning Cinnamon Brown Sugar Bread!
