I came to realize that I hadn't made bread since who knows when. Not having baked any in so long, I decided that it was time to bake up some yummy, delicious bread for indulgence. Usually, I'm always baking up some kind of Banana Bread. Whether it be Chocolate Chip Banana Bread or Peanut Butter Banana Bread, it would usually have banana's in it.
However, for once, I wasn't in the mood for any kind of banana bread. Which is a shocked for me; In my house, I'm known for being the one to eat all the Banana Bread! I was however in the mood for anything with raisins or cranberries. I don't really understand why, but I've been having these really strong craving for any kind of dried fruit! And since I had raisins on hand, raisin nut bread was what came to mind.
Took time and I hate waiting, but it the end, it was worth it. Though the bread wasn't really as moist as say, banana bread would be, it was still moist enough and very, very delicious. A great morning breakfast!

I already commented on this raisin-nut bread of yours, on your Flickr account; but it just looks so delicious that I need to comment on it here!! looks divine!! :0)
That looks like a great way to start the morning. But I must say - no banana bread? I have 4 bananas going all spotty on the counter and I'm having the great debate between bread and cake.
