LEMON BREAD FOR YOUR EASTER BRUNCH

Who doesn't love attending a beautiful

Easter morning brunch.

Perhaps it is planned to enjoy after the Easter sunrise service,

or before the 11;00 AM formal church service...

either way, everyone so enjoys savoring

spring recipes that are homemade and a bit special

for this most blessed occasion.

This Lemon Bread is a favorite from

a local Pensacola catering cafe'!

This is definitely more the texture of bread, than cake

with a beautiful citrusy lemon flavor and glaze!
