In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and nuts.
In a separate bowl, cream together (I use my fingers) the sugar and shortning. Beat the eggs into this mixture one at a time.
Add sugar mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix in all remaining ingredients.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes -- watching carefully after 45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the loaf. It it comes out free of batter, the bread is done.
Makes 1 loaf of deliciousness!
Mr Breakfast would like to thank stuartlittle76 for this recipe.
