I want to make sure that my family eats well. Don't want my kids eating a ton of processed sugar and chemicals however, I want to give them treats and delicious, interesting meals. Add to that my personal sensitivities to all things dairy, cane sugar and bakers yeast - it is a good thing I enjoy baking, cooking and experimenting with recipes. i also believe that making interesting, healthy meals for your family should not be complicated or difficult.
This can also be made as a loaf in two loaf pans or as a cake in a 9x13 cake pan.
