APPLE-CARROT WALNUT BREAD

My love for all things baked runs deep and true.  I've been asked several times to start focusing on entrees and I have...juuuuuust haven't gotten around to posting them.  Not sure what my mental block is on that.

Anyway, here I am again, posting another baked treat. 

Ok, you know what it is?  I love the aroma that tends to linger, it's comforting. Foodies, like myself, are foodies because they love comfort food and nothing said comfort like a freshly baked loaf of bread. 

This Carrot Bread was actually made due to an excessive amount of carrots and apples purchased. You can substitute either with something else you might have on hand (that would taste good in bread) like zucchini and pears. Whatever makes your tummy happy can't be wrong!
