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.
