If anything feels like the holidays to me, it’s a piece of warm cranberry walnut bread smothered in butter. This has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember, so I am excited to have a nutrient dense version of it that my tummy likes!
When I originally went down the rabbit hole of ‘clean eating,’ I totally vilified bread and cut it out of my diet. It was a ‘no’ food because it was too high in carbohydrates and didn’t serve a ‘purpose.’ Needless to say, I have come a long way since putting food in boxes of healthy and unhealthy, finding balance with all foods.
While I do consider this Cranberry Walnut Bread recipe to be full of healthful ingredients, feel free to enjoy any GD bread that you want! I feel my best when consuming whole grain foods that have more nutrient dense properties, so those are the recipes I choose to create. However, if someone made some dank ass cranberry walnut bread full of white flour and sugar and I wanted a piece, I sure as hell would have it…and I hope you would too!
Pardon me for getting on a soapbox, but I think it is extremely important to take away the dogmatic viewpoints that can occur in the health and wellness world. BUT let’s get onto the GD recipe because it’s delicious and that is what you are all actually here for!
