Multi-Grain Brown Bread
"This bread is tender, sweet and a delicate beige color. The first few ingredients are mixed together in a blender to homogenize the flavors. The loaf is not a lid-bumper, but it will rise at least two-thirds of the way up the pan. This bread is often served in restaurants; now you can have it whenever you want."

<p>I am a nurse that works night shift in Labor and Delivery. I am also a sewer and a quilter. These are my passions and you will find me in my sewing room most of my free time. I love to cook but hate to clean. I am more open to new recipes but I sometimes have to coax my DH to try. Once he does and he likes it then it is okay.</p>
