Blackberry-Almond Bread
"This is one of the many recipes I gathered during blackberry hunting season. I would bet it'll work with frozen, thawed, and drained berries, too...I've only ever used fresh ones, though."

I doubled this recipe. I used slivered almond because that is all I had left. I also used wild blackberries. With the almonds and because the wild blackberries tend to be more seedy I thought the bread was too crunchy. I couldn't really taste the flavor of the almonds. I used only 1/2 cup orange juice (and 1/2 cup water) and 1 tablespoon orange rind. (Someone had eaten my other orange). I would eliminate both the next time and just use water. The orange flavor was too much, I couldn't taste the berries. I did like the texture from the oatmeal. I would make this again, but with the changes mentioned. -
This could possibly be the best friut loaf I have ever tasted! I made it exactly as written. The only thing was that it took about ten minutes longer to bake, maybe, because my blackberries were so large...Thank you so much for the recipe. -
I have never baked bread before, let alone from scratch! This recipe worked perfectly for me. Thank you, Aunt Cookie!

I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
