Lemon Bread

This is far from our cookie recipes but it is one of my daughters favorite breads that grandma used to make. She was missing her today so she decided to try her hand at it and see if she could duplicate the taste. Her grandma would be so very proud of her! The results were a delicious warm dessert on this cold wintry day. It was a great way to spend our last moments together before they go back to school tomorrow. I love hearing her baking in the kitchen and watching her dance to her music. The years go by too fast!
