This recipe comes from singer/songwriter Christine Lavin, who has written a song about this and who gives the recipe out at her concerts. This recipe is as good as she is -- fabulous! The only difference is that she makes it in 2 loaf pans; I cut the recipe in half and make a single loaf pan. When cutting it in half, I make it with four eggs and skim milk, and it's fairly WW friendly, and extremely yummy.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
