Colonial Brown Bread
"In colonial days they didn't have a whole lot of stuff to put into their baking. This one is like that. The first time I made it I didn't think that it would be very good, but found that it was sweet and great when toasted in the toaster and then spread it with lots of butter."

I have been making this same recipe, which I found in a Gooseberry Patch Cookbook - Welcome Home For the Holidays- for years. It is a real crowd pleaser at my house - sweet and so yummy with butter or toasted. It is very easy. I just mix it up and pop it in the oven. I make the rest of the meal and and when I am finished, the bread is ready to go. You will love it too!

Most doctors may have heard of it but don't know an awful lot about it and so many times it goes misdiagnosed.
