LEMON YOGURT BREAD

Sunshine and bright yellow with a hint of citrus.  Lemon lovers will adore this.  This bread reminded me of a pound cake, but not the dense texture of a pound cake. It holds it shape when cut.  I added a few blueberries that I had just picked out in the back of my house.  One advantage of living in the country.  Its moist, mild lemon flavor all in a bread pan.  A few added benefits of using yogurt, which adds moistness to baked goods with fewer calories then using butter, or sour cream.  You could add a glaze after baking, or slice and add berries and whipped cream.
