In other news, we are currently putting in a swimming pool in our backyard and the boys are so excited. It has been fun to watch the progress everyday. With all the construction going on in my backyard and baseball season in full swing (that is 6 games a week for our household of boys) I have been so busy, that posting has been pushed to the back burner! I am determined to squeeze in the time to post more though, I have several really delicious recipes to share with you! So stay tuned!!

- I like to squeeze a little lemon juice into the batter, maybe a tablespoon or two.
- Bake in 2 8×4 inch greased and floured pans at 40-50 minutes.

- When you take the bread out of the oven let the glaze drip and drizzle over the loaves.
