Excellent Lemon Bread, so like one I enjoyed many years ago and neglected to get the recipe to be making it. We enjoyed every slice! Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe for this lovely loaf. -
Meyer lemon replaced standard lemon and I baked two small loaves instead of one big one. The loaves baked in about 45 minutes. Served for Elevenses today with tea, carrot sticks and Welsh sharp cheddar cheese. Reviewed for Best of 2012. -
This was a wonderful treat. The citrus boost from the lemon juice and lemon zest made for a wonderful Lemon Bread. I will make this often and I will not change a thing. Thank you for sharing your recipe, WendyInGermany. Made for Spring 2012 Pick-A-Chef.

I was born in Canada, lived on Cape Cod for 13 years and then moved to Florida. While in Florida I met my wonderful German husband and moved to Germany after just knowing him for 2 weeks. We have been together now for over 20 years. I am very lucky with him, as I love to cook and he loves to eat! I enjoy trying new recipes out on friends.
My particular passion, apart from cooking, is running. I only started running about 3 years ago and am not very fast, but can't imagine my life without this sport.
We both enjoy travelling, jogging, reading and cooking. We are also wine lovers and living in Germany there are lots of wine festivals - which include food galore - to attend. We love trying the local dishes and wines in the countries we travel to.
We have an adorable 12 year old granddaughter (from my husbands first marriage) who loves to bake "American" muffins with me.
