Personal Notes:
My daughter Taylor doesn't like nuts, while Dave loves them....so I wait to fold in the nuts and after pouring the mixture into the loaf pan, I add nuts to half and using a fork press them down into the batter. I decorate the top with nuts on the half that has nuts. Makes everyone happy!
