Cassie's Notes:

I have not tried this yet, but the online comments to this recipe are great. This recipe came from my Taste of Home Feb/March 2006 issue.

I am going to make this tomorrow or maybe even yet tonight. I like the fact that it takes no special ingredients...and the reviews say there is just enough taste of the Thyme to make it delicious. It is a very moist bread.

The main picture is the Internet picture..I am also adding the one from my book, it's sliced and can see how moist it looks..

Enjoy!...will be adding my own pics after I make it. I may make 4 mini ones.

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk and thyme. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until bubbly; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with reserved milk mixture. Stir in lemon juice and peel.

Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over bread.

Cassie, I have had this bread before. My friend made it for me as a Christmas gift 2 years ago and I LOVED it!!! I am so excited to find this recipe because I myself have wanted to make it too. It is so delicious and the flavor of the lemon and thyme is amazing!! Oh, I just looked at your recipe and the thyme is missing....maybe you corrected already. Anyway, looking forward to making this soon. Thanks for sharing.

Cassie, I just can't go on a "diet" with this type of recipes around!!! I am going to have to make this tomorrow if I can't talk myself out of it!!! I might have to use onange zest and lime juice, but I bet it will still be great, especially since I like lime better than lemon!!! Thanks!!
