Lemon Loaf with Lemon Icing Drizzle ~ Since moving to a temporary house a few months ago, ALL of my recipe books are still packed away and in storage. I didn't want to unpack anything that wasn't necessary, only to have to repack it in a few months. I remember packing my treasured recipes thinking, well if I need a specific recipe, I'll just check the blog. Most of my often used recipes are there. Well, you can imagine my surprise when yesterday I decided to make Lemon Bread (or Loaf) … [Read more...]

Orange Loaf with Orange Icing Drizzle ~ A couple weeks ago, because they were on sale, I bought a big bag of oranges. We did well eating them the first few days and then...well, we seemed to forget about them. Consequently, a couple of days ago when I was rummaging in the crisper, I came across three lonely oranges that, while not "bad", had certainly seen better days.

Glazed Clementine Loaf

It seems that from December through much of the winter, clementines are in abundance. I can't go into my local grocery store without seeing a big display of this tasty, easily peeled fruit. Not only are clementines perfect in lunch boxes or as a midnight snack, they are also the perfect fruit to put in a citrus loaf. I have made my Mom's recipe for Lemon Bread for a hundred years. Not only is it simple to make and delicious, it turns out perfectly every time. My Mom died in January of … [Read more...]
