This is the best lemon zucchini bread I've ever baked or tasted. The recipe came from a friend of my mom's. She kept raving about this bread she had made while visiting. After I had made it the first time, I could understand why. If I don't put this in the freezer right away, it is gone! Butter is really good on this bread if you aren't worried about the calories and fat.

Ezekiel Bread II
This bread is also known as Bible Bread or Fasting Bread. This version does not use beans; instead it contains cooked lentils and several whole grain flours. You may have to visit a health foods store to find some of these ingredients.
Braided Bread with Pesto
This braided pesto bread is beautiful and full of flavor. I've made it with several different fillings. It is crispy and flaky on the outside and filled with pesto on the inside.
Atlas Mountain Soup
I just had to share this with you all! This soup, which is more like a stew, is sustaining enough to make a complete meal if accompanied by some good, crusty bread. The meat, combined with spices and with a tang of lemon and apricots, has the flavor of North Africa.
