Green Tomato Quick Bread

One of my favorite things to bake is bread.  I like the yeasty smell that fills up the house and I love the that it does take time.  That way when you're done, you feel like you're really invested in the outcome.

That being said, I also love quick breads.  There's not really a downside to mixing together a few ingredients, filling up your house with amazing scents, and an hour later slicing into warm, flavorful bread.

Of course I've made and eaten my fair share of banana bread, zucchini bread and pumpkin bread.  I mistakenly thought that those were the only options though, so I was pretty intrigued when I found this recipe for green tomato quick bread.

This bread is sweet, and moist (sorry -- I hate that word), and nutty at the same time.  If you didn't know there were tomatoes in it, I don't think you could pick out that flavor, so it's kind of like magic.  You just have to try it for yourself, I guess.
