It was tasty but I felt it was a little dry. lindawenger it's pureed baby food in small plastic containers
I'm not very familiar with baby food anymore. Is this a dry form or will the jarred food work?
I run a small cottage business from my home baking quick breads to sell at a year round farmers market in our town. This is one of my most requested breads. It comes out perfectly each and every time.
My family loves this bread!! Easy to make and it is even good for a year round treat!!
