Sounds great but so many recipies have nuts in them nowadays, I cant stand nuts let alone the people who have allergies

So, leave them out! Sheesh, nobody is forcing you to use them. I did a pumpkin bread recipe yesterday that called for walnuts and cloves. Don't like walnuts myself so left them out and wasn't game to use whole cloves.

Made the damned thing and it was/is delicious. Wife complimented me on it. First time in 10 years or so, so it must have been good.
