Lemon Bread

January 10, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Made it through one more day!  I actually had a great Monday.  Nothing great happened, woke up, went to work, exercised, made dinner and blogged.  That’s my everyday, but the reason for a good day, you wonder?  New attitude!  I woke Sunday and decided to just be happy!  When you walk by people smile and say hi.  Go to work and just do your job and if it’s a crappy work day, oh well, they pay you to do the crap and besides be grateful you have a job!  I am totally going for this and since my day went well, I’m happy!  It sounds stupid but this is true, “smiles are contagious, so pass it on”.  How can anyone be mean or angry to a happy person?

Since my root canal Friday, I’ve been pretty feeling good.  My cheeks are a little swollen, but no pain.  The only thing is I can’t eat crunchy yet.  But with that, I lost a couple of pounds.  It goes to show, I think my afternoon snacking of granola and pecan crisps probably are part of my weight gain.  I haven’t had either of them since Thursday.  I think that’s the longest I have gone without granola!  Oh and I have been eating clean, no processed foods!   Making everything from scratch.  I love the flavors and the left overs!  Funny when I was a kid and young adult, I never ate left overs, I thought they were gross, but not anymore.  A lot of food tastes better the next day!

Last week I slacked on my workout!  I did my strength training two days and cardio for two days.  After the dentist visit Friday the last thing on my mind was exercise, so  I decided to give my body a break so I wouldn’t burn out and would continue my workout on Monday!  I did and it felt good!  I am keeping up with my Jackie Warner 30 Jump Start and it’s getting easier, thank God!  I can’t wait to see if I tone up in 2 more weeks!  I can feel it in my arms!

So since I can’t eat crunchy you know had to go to the next best thing, bread!  Yes I already admitted I am a bread addict, so sue me!  he he  This is a wonderful lemon quick bread.  I’ve been to Starbucks, I know your shocked and I keep seeing there lemon pound cake for 480 calories a slice and I think Hell NO!!  Nothing is worth that many calories, nothing that I could eat in 30 seconds flat, so I had to make the next closest thing I could think of, that I knew would be semi-healthy, low calorie and if I eat a piece or two I won’t feel guilty!


This bread has a sticky, but chewy top and soft moist middle.  It has just the perfect amount of lemon.  When I made the glaze, I tasted it, after I put it on the bread and thought, ohhh weeeee thats tart, but you know what, it wasn’t tart once it was on the bread!  I am so happy for that, I thought I ruined my mini loafs, but nope I didn’t!  You know me and mini loafs.  One for my work, one for Hubby’s and one for home!  I can’t have one big loaf at home or I will eat it all!

This bread is made with yogurt for extra protein boost and half whole wheat pastry flour and half all purpose flour.  Plus love which gives it the best flavor, ok that was totally geeky!  What can I say?  That’s me!

Lemon Bread

Ingredients:

1 Cup Greek Non Fat Plain Yogurt

1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. granulated sugar

2 eggs or egg substitute

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. lemon extract

2 teaspoon lemon peel, grated (about 2 lemons)

1 Cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 Cup all purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

Glaze:

3 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup(s) lemon juice, fresh

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°

Beat yogurt, sugar, eggs, vanilla and lemon extract until blended

Stir together flour, lemon peel, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to yogurt mixture,mix just until blended. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 9- x 5-inch loaf pan or 3 mini loafs.

Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour for 1 large loaf or 30 – 35 minutes for 3 mini loafs, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, shielding with aluminum foil after 50 minutes to prevent excessive browning.

To make glaze:

In a small sauce pan add sugar and lemon juice, stir until dissolved and clear. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in (a pastry brush works great for this, as does using a toothpick to make tiny holes that draw the syrup in better).

Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Then eat!!!!

makes 15 big slices

Calories per slice:  111,  Fat:  .02,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  137,  Potassium:  32, Carbs:  23,  Fiber:  1.3,  Sugar:  10.3,  Protein:  3.9

That beats Starbucks 480 calorie lemon pound cake.  I’m still working on making a low calorie pound cake, but I believe it’s called pound cake because it takes a pound of butter, which I refuse to use in anything!  Sorry Paula Deen, I like butter, but not that much!

I really enjoy making quick breads, it amazing everything you can do with them.  From sweet to savory.   I have 4 ripe banana’s so I can create another bread this week.  What is your favorite kind of quick bread?  I don’t know what mine is, I like them all!

Time for me to go, I am going through yogurt withdrawals.  Remember when I got moldy yogurt from Trader Joe’s?  Well they gave me my money back without receipt or the yogurt, so I bought another one and guess what?  Moldy!  Arrrrrr!  So I returned that one too!  They said they must of gotten a bad batch, now there out of stock, so I am going to head to my local grocery store and pick up Chobani, which I never had or Fage which I just tried today and I like it.  The only problem is, there about $2.00 more then Trader Joe’s and there sugar is higher.  I love yogurt, it’s my evening dessert with fruit and peanut butter!  Since I can’t have crunchy I must have yogurt!

Ok, as I think about it I really need my Greek Yogurt!  Have a great day and remember to smile and pass it on, you will have a great day!!! 😉

    I love this post and I’m SO glad you’re happy! …also, this bread looks better than Starbucks. I’ve had it, but you’re right..it’s delish, but not worth the calories! (and I love butter that much, but it doesn’t love me OR my arteries as my doctor discovered!)

    I just love quick breads and this lemon flavored bread sounds fantastic. Just the right thing to brighten up winter. So glad you made a healthy version too. I live in NYC and have to face the dreaded posted calories at every Starbucks that I walk in to.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
