Lemon-Poppyseed Blueberry Bread with Crumb Topping and Lemon Glaze

That's a mouth full . . .

literally!

You'll want a mouthful of this delicious and easy breakfast bread!

It's so easy!

By this time in the school year, I'm so tired of fixing the same old things for breakfast for my cherubs; I'm looking for something new to feed them.

Confession: those two lines above--they're a lie.

I don't usually fix breakfast for the cherubs during the week.

The Mr. does.

But I usually have all the things for him to fix breakfast and I try to have some easy "go to" things for some of the "busy" mornings, just to make it easier on him.

That's just the kind of wife I am!

This is definitely an easy go-to-breakfast treat . . .

not only for breakfast,

but when you want a snack,

or a dessert.

It's delicious for most anytime of the day.

I'd like to tell you that it freezes well,

but I have no idea!
It doesn't last long enough at our house!
My boy cherub can polish it off in a flash!

Lemon-Poppyseed Blueberry Bread

1 box blueberry muffin mix (like Betty Crocker)
1 TBSP poppyseeds
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 lemons, zested and divided
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup oatmeal (I used old fashioned, but use what you've got)
3 TBSP butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Open the blueberries from the mix and drain.

In a bowl, mix the muffin mix, poppyseeds, egg, milk and zest of one lemon. Stir in the drained blueberries and mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan.

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, oatmeal, and butter together to form a crumb topping. Sprinkle evenly over the muffin mix.

Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until done thoroughly.

While the loaf is baking, in a small bowl, juice the 2 lemons and add the zest of the second lemon. Add enough powdered sugar (about 3/4 of a cup . . .but this will depend on how much lemon juice was yielded from the lemons) and stir well. You are wanting a pourable glaze, but not too thin. It should have a little substance to the glaze, but not thick, either!

Remove from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. Gently poke small holes in the loaf, with a fork or knife. You just need a few, you're not taking out any aggressions or anything like that! Pour your lemon glaze over the loaf and allow to cool. Remove the loaf from the pan and place on a serving plate.

Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
