"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
This has to be one of my very favorite recipes. It it so moist and yummy and.... FAT FREE! Yep, it's hard to believe something that good can also be easy on the waistline. We love it so much that I always double the recipe and make an extra loaf (in which case I should note that I use a 22 oz. can of the crushed pineapple... the extra pineapple adds more flavor and moisture). I also sometime eliminate the icing and coconut when I'm counting calories. Either way, I guarantee you'll love this bread! It freezes well too.
