Do you know what says summer to me? Anything citrus! I love to use lemons in my cooking during the summer, and this week I decided it was time to breaking out my recipe for classic iced lemon bread. It’s easy to make and tastes just like summer! It’s one of my daughters personal favorites and she was home to help me make it. (You can thank her for the sprinkles in the icing, ha!).
