Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread served with hot comforting coffee makes ‘unseasonably’ seem novel.

Let me talk quickly. We are currently experiencing unseasonably cold temps with wind gusts in the….well below our comfort level. My computer has been off and on again with power outages and server issues.

OMG – I am in LOVE with that loaf pan! Are there any manufacturer’s marks on it at all? I have been looking and looking for one like it without much success. P.S. Making the bread this week. Looks delicious :)

You’re going to hate this Aimee, but I found it at Goodwill. I will check the bottom when I get home tonight and see if there’s a brand. It is beautiful. I hope you love the bread like we do.
