Baking is total relaxation time for me. When I need to get my mind off things, I head to the kitchen.
When I’m bored I will bake. If I want to procrastinate, I will bake.
Basically I like baking. Good for you, cause I have this yummy recipe to share. Good for me and the hubs because we get to devour it.
Win – win right?
Okay, I totally feel like the big winner here, but you can too.
Grab 2 bowls and 1 loaf pan, then gather your ingredients and go!
Makes for a great snack any time of the day. Whether you need to relax, are bored, procrastinating a project or just like something tasty to munch on, this is it. It’s lemon poppyseed bread time.

Do you love to bake? Tell me why!
I just got back from a morning strength workout. Feels so good to workout! Breakfast, then off to work and a midwife appointment this afternoon. Happy Friday all!

Oh yum. Lemon and poppy seed rock together! And I always enjoy breads made with yogurt. I adore baking. Its total stress free time!
I love baking! I just need more people to share it with. I would bake all day if it paid the bills 🙂 Love lemon in the summer, I will have to make this loaf.
I totally wish I had more people to share my baked goods with! When I lived at home my brothers would devour them… now it’s just me and the hubs 🙂
yum! i love baking too. i agree, it’s a release for me, or just a reason for me to procrastinate. 🙂
There is a place around here that makes the most incredible lemon poppyseed bread! I’ve always wanted to recreate it. This recipe sounds fantastic!
I just love to bake, I don’t know why, I guess the same reasons you do, and I love eating raw batter of anything so it gives me a reason to eat raw batter. haha This morning I baked some banana bread (my excuse was to make it for my husband and then use it to make banana bread french toast just for him) once that is gone I will try this recipe, I can’t make two yummy baked goods in one day!
I like to bake, but not cook. I just like sweets I guess.
I don’t blame you, sweets are delicious 🙂
I love anything that is lemon poppyseed!
I used to bake a lot more than I do now. Since I try to make all my meals and snacks at home I get lazy and never feel like baking anymore.
I need to change that though because right now I’m craving a huge slice of cake!
Make the cake, you deserve it mama!
What an incredible recipe! Thank you SO much! <3
I absolutely love baking–and I’m just like you in that I love to bake anytime, when I’m bored, because I need to think, etc. It’s always relaxing to me actually!
Glad it’s relaxing for you too! It’s the best 🙂
LOVE anything lemon! Yum!
