I love the fact that the weather is cooler. Cooler weather means more baking in my house. I bake a wide variety of things from breads, muffins, cookies, and whatever else that comes across that I may find interesting.

Today I want to share with you my favorite bread. It’s really moist. It turns out green and may look distrubing but it is absolutley delicious.
