****UPDATE*** I wrote this review back in 2005 and have to say I make this at least once a week ... this is my favorite dessert of all time...... What a wonderful bread!! Made it for the BF which just loved it. Everyone should try this one!! Thanks for the awesome receipe! -
After trying several, I came across this recipe and haven't gone for a different one since. I usually use SmartBalance instead of butter, and use the recommended spices. Sometimes I also sweeten it up with chocolate chips. -
I made this without any other the suggested spice additions.......I only noticed those after it was in the oven! Anyhow, this was delicious, a lovely texture and very simple to make. Thanks for the recipe! -
REally good recipe and so easy to mix up. I did it in time for breakfast on the go this morning. I subbed apple sauce for the melted butter and no-one was the wiser. Delicious. Thanx for the recipe! -

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
