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.

      I go to Starbucks at least 4 times a week, and I keep seeing all there delicious treats, then I see the calories! Eck!! So I try to make the same type of foods but healthier of course!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
