Photos of Copycat Liam’s Green Bread Recipe
My son refuses to eat vegetables, but he loves bread. He would eat nothing but bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner, given the chance! So when he was about 5 years old, I thought, “Fine. You like bread? We’ve got zucchini-bread, pumpkin bread, banana bread.” But since there were still no leafy greens in his diet, I took my Grandma’s recipe for Yeast Rolls (which everyone loves), and added chopped spinach. Then, because his favorite color is green, I told him that it was “Green Bread”. I wasn’t about to call it Spinach Bread!
