Tropical Tango Bread
Serves: 10
Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a great long weekend! The weather on the Cape finally broke yesterday and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! It was sunny and 70 degrees! The perfect weather for me to be outside doing yard work with my grandmother. Well, more like me staining wood and weeding the garden while she directed me! But it was well worth the sweat to see her happy face after! Plus she treated me to an amazing dinner later that night! The rest of the weekend we spent relaxing, reading, shopping and of course, I got in some awesome yoga classes!
Now that the weekend is over, it is time to get back into our yummy recipes! This bread recipe, I must say, definitely, is the best of all the bread recipesI have made so far (in my opinion of course)! Well, maybe it rivals this one, but it is still amazing! It is also the perfect recipe to kick off the warm weather for summer! This one is sure to send your taste buds to a tropical island! I hope you enjoy!
