About a month ago I saw a post for a lemon loaf and decided that it was DEFINITELY making the menu that week. As I've said before, I haven't been as good about taking pictures of the awesome food we've been eating as of late, but still, it's worth sharing.
*ps: when the title is "luscious lemon loaf" how can you NOT want to eat the whole thing?*

**The origional recipe said that it was even better the next day, but I thought it was perfect right out of the oven. Maybe it was just me and the crazy altitude that messed it up, but I preferred it at 10pm, right out of the oven :)
ooh, yum!
