Directions

1) In a mixing bowl combine the sugar, oil and eggs, mix well.
2) Stir in A to Z ingredients of your choice and vanilla.
3) Combine flour cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir into
    liquid ingredients just until moistened. Stir in nuts.
4) Pour into 2 greased 8" x 4" loaf pans. Bake at 325 F for 55-65 minutes
    or until a wooden pick inserted car the center comes out clean. Cool in
    pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

I usually measure all the dry ingredients into 3 or 4 ziplock bags and keep them
in the pantry so all I have to do is add the wet ingredients and the A to Z of
my choice ... makes for a quick way to make the breads without all
the measuring!
