I'm still not eating sugars and starches, so I knew I wouldn't be able to taste test this one again. One of my goals in 2011 is to set a better example of healthy eating for our family. Friends of ours started a whole foods approach to eating, and I'd like to start doing more of that in our house as well. With that in mind, I came across this recipe in my recipe box, and it fits fairly well with the whole foods way of eating so I thought we'd give it a whirl. It hasn't gone over very well. Part of that may be my own doing as I replaced the flour in the recipe with a flour blend from The Sneaky Chef (equal parts white flour, whole wheat flour, and unsweetened wheat germ). Koen didn't like the raisins, Seth detected the wheat germ immediately, and Ty and Brielle wouldn't even try it. I'll probably end up freezing most of the loaf and eat it later because I hate to throw it out.
In case it sounds good to you...
