Birdys Tea Bread

I make this bread when I don't want something with bananas or zuchini in it. I love the combination of nuts and dates together. Let this bread cool first before eating. Re-warm it and slather it with real butter and serve with a good spicy tea and the flavors just meld together quite nicely. Read more Birdy... See less
