Mum's the Word Cupcakes. A Refreshing Lemon Tea Bread. It seems that this world is broken into two sides: You are either a coffee person or tea. I love the smell of coffee and I love the hint of coffee in my brownies or cakes. But I HATE the taste of a cup of coffee. GASP! Every morning I sit down and enjoy my morning tea. I’ve managed to wean myself off of putting sugar in my tea, I now use Stevia, but it doesn’t take the craving I have for something sweet to accompany my tea. I added cutting back on sweets to my never-ending list of new year’s resolutions. But I long for a scone, muffin or sweet bread to savor with my lovely cup of tea. Which brings me to this lovely, and refreshing Lemon Tea Bread. Maybe it’s because of the brownies, rum cake, fudge and other rich sweets I baked (and mostly gave away) during the holidays. I really wish I had a slice of this Lemon Tea Bread now. For the full recipe for this Lemon Tea Bread, click here!

Bon Appetit! Treat of the Week: Mixed Berry Buckle - Today's Nest. I am very lucky to have attended the International Food Bloggers Conference in Portland, Oregon last weekend. It was 3 days completely packed with information, fun, and, as you might have guessed… food. The city of Portland was welcoming and friendly. Apparently, I visited on a perfect weekend. The weather was stuff we only dream of in Dallas. One such manufacturer is Bob’s Red Mill. Several weeks before attending I received an email inviting me for a tour of the facility along with several other conference attendees.
