I've heard tell of those who find the football game secondary to the tailgate party. I'm one of those people. Don't get me wrong; I love a good football game, but the fun had with others on a crisp fall day sharing our favorite hearty fall foods just can't be beat.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 1/3 cup milk
• 3 cups finely shredded cheddar, I like sharp cheddar

Directions

1. Mix butter and sugar until fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time, blending after each addition.
3. Sift together flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add to egg mixture alternately with milk. Mix well.
4. Add cheese and nuts and blend until combined.
5. Spoon into two greased and floured 9x5 loaf pans.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean.
