Looks good, will give it a try, but am wondering if I could substitute the dates with something else, any suggestions ?

Wondering, too, if there's a good substitute for dates.

Txbaker-I was just thinking the same thing as I am not too crazy about dates. I think I would try the bread with died cherries. Dried cranberries would be my second choice. :)
