Hi dear Gina - ooh! that looks so delicious! I'm so looking forward to baking up a storm now that cooler weather will be coming, and I love quick breads and new recipes. I would definitely include the almond meal/flour (we always called it ground almonds in England) because that really keeps a cake moist and even more delicious! A bit expensive but so worth it - I usually buy 'Bob's Red Mill' brand as I love and trust their products.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. Thanks for the email will reply soon.

Dear Gina,
ReplyDeleteYour squash bread is very picturesque and the recipe sounds delicious. I love squash in autumn and am looking forward to harvesting a few small butternut squashes from our garden. It was so hot this year that the yield is not as it usually is. Fortunately, we have farmers' markets with lots of squash, too.
I did bake an apple loaf earlier this week. Yum!
Enjoy September,
Lorrie
