SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made this for dinner last night, it was GREAT! I added a half cup of diced carrots, and served it with corn and glazed carrots, yum! The loaf didn't hold together as I had anticipated. But it was delicious. Thanks for this recipe. :)
Kudos to you and your mom. It was delicious. I didn't have almonds, and I don't like to use Cashews, so I used walnuts and Brazil nuts instead, which worked well. Thanks for giving me a recipe that will help use up the two shakers full of sage I have in my cupboard.
