'Tis the season to be baking--and giving. Whether you're looking for a great teacher gift or something to bring to your sweet neighbors, it's hard to beat a loaf of homemade bread.

From rum-laced banana bread to mini cranberry panettone and fruit-filled stollen, these festive breads make perfect holiday gifts.
These delightfully tender, not-too-sweet muffins are a delicious twist on the classic lemon poppy seed combo. Grapefruit works exceptionally well in this context, as the flavor comes through delicately, without any of the citrus fruit’s signature bitterness. And the flavors of both the star ingredients of the grapefruit-Champagne glaze shine through deliciously, truly setting these beauties apart, especially in terms of brunch-worthiness. After you’ve set aside a tablespoon for the muffins, simply use the rest of your bottle of Champagne (or you can also use Prosseco) to whip up a round of mimosas.
