Nut Bread - the Orange Variety

I loved this recipe! It was so easy. You make it with Bisquick. It was a newspaper clipping with a basic recipe for a nut bread, with three different variations. I chose to make the orange nut bread. You use orange juice and rind instead of milk, and a little more sugar. Also, a point which I didn't notice till it was too late, you're only supposed to use half the amount of nuts. I added the full amount, but hey, you can never have too many nuts if you ask me! It's a really moist bread and yummy.
