My Grandma's Carrot Bread

Submitted by kittypal

"This recipe was my grandma's, who gave it my my mother, who gave it to me! Hopefully I read her hand-writing correctly! I love all quick breads but I REALLY love homemade. The Nutmeg listed in the recipe is optional, and so are the raisins and nuts. We always made it for the holidays, but it could really be made any time. I may try to make a healthier version someday, but for now here it is."
