Old Fashion Recipes for Walnut Breads: Walnut Date Loaf and Orange Walnut Bread
Walking into the house to the smell of fresh baked bread always brings to mind memories of grandma’s house or coming home hungry after school and knowing mom had been spending time in the kitchen. Following are a couple of old recipes retrieved from my mother’s old tin recipe box that I got when she passed away. Walnut date loaf and orange walnut bread can both be made with pecans, if you don’t like walnuts. However, walnuts have known health benefits and we could all stand to eat more of them. Also, both of these breads make good gift breads. Give as hostess gifts, take to the office, wrap in plastic wrap, tie with a pretty bow and give for Christmas gifts, etc.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
shredded peel of 1 orange
5 tsp double-acting baking powder
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup salad oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, with fork, mix flour and walnuts, sugar, salt, orange peel, and baking powder. In a small bowl, with fork, beat eggs slightly; stir in milk and salad oil. Stir into flour mixture just until flour is moistened. Pour batter into a 9×5″ loaf pan. Bake one hour and twenty minutes or until bread pulls away from sides of pan. Cool in pan on wire rack for ten minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on rack. Makes one loaf of bread. NOTE: Diabetics can enjoy this bread by replacing 1 cup of the sugar with Splenda granular.
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup boiling water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
In a mixing bowl, combine the dates, water, and oil. Let stand for 10 minutes; do not drain. Add the brown sugar, egg and vanilla; mix well. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir flour mixture into the date mixture just until combined. Do not beat. Fold in walnuts. Transfer batter into a greased 8-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 65 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool ten minutes before removing from pan. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
Enjoy!

Thanks a bunch guys!
P.S. I really HATE heels and i don’t want to wear them. I personally think the flats are delicate enough to be formal, but that’s me :
first i absolutely ADORE that dress its sooo cute and i would be so jealous and the shoes go great with the dress i think that it would work for the spring formal because you don’t want something that is too fancy because then you will just look way to overdressed
