Baking like Bessie

My Grandma Bessie was very much a conserving gal. She didn't waste a thing. She'd often get a recipe from my mom, but substitute every other ingredient with what she had. Then she was baffled when it tasted nothing like my mom's.

Today Sam gave me her Amish Friendship Bread all ready to be baked. . . .mostly because she wants me to lose the biggest loser challenge. Anyway, I didn't realize you had to add so much to this bread!! I've had it before, it's really yummy, but its been a good 3 or 4 years since I baked it.

So, it calls for 3 eggs, I only had 1. It calls for 1 large box of vanilla pudding, I had one small box of banana and 1 small box of tapioca. Also, the starts from it you're supposed to put in a large ziplock bag, I had to use small ones. Hmm, my amish bread may suck, but then I won't be eating too much of it.
