Meet the Cook: This snack bread's very versatile - I've served it with spaghetti, as an appetizer and as a main dish. Because it stays so moist, I often bake it a day before. I have been an avid cook ever since my husband and I were married...that was 29 years ago. We have two children - a son 22 and a daughter 19.

I made this to go along with a spaghetti dinner. Everyone enjoyed it and I liked that it was fairly simple to make. I am going to make it again and add a few of my own touches.
