Beat shortening with sugar until creamy. Add eggs and beat into sugar mixture. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt; combine milk and vanilla. Combine flour mixture with milk mixture and add to the sugar mixture. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Bake one hour in two greased bread pans. MOLASSES OATMEAL BREAD 2 cups dry oatmeal 4 cups boiling water 1/2 cup molasses 1/2 cup soft shortening 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup raisins 3 tsp salt 2 pkgs dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water 5 cups flour 6 - 7 cups flour Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Let rise again, form into loaves and let rise until light. Bake at 350 degrees about 45 minutes. Makes 3 large or 4 medium loaves. This bread freezes well. Can also be make into rolls. Since this bread freezes well, it is a good idea to make a couple loaves of the bread and use the remaining dough to make rolls.  Put rolls in the freezer and have for unexpected needs or when you are in a hurry.
