OMG!!! I made 2 loaves of this 4 weeks ago. I have been searching for this recipe so I could make some more. This is the recipe to end anyone's search. I bake all the time for breakfast on the go for my family; and my daughter hid one loaf in the freezer so we could have some beyond the weekend I baked it! Thank you for such a fabulous bread recipe.

The lemon glaze is what makes this lemon bread that extra bit more special. This recipe has become a family favorite, and is well received when gifted. Definitely a keeper!

Excellent recipe Sherry! I've been looking for a recipe that rivals Trader Joe's lemon bread, and I have found it. The bread had a wonderful moist and light texture. The flavor was undoubtedly lemon! My girlfriend has been living on the bread for the past two days.

This recipe look yummy. I plan on baking a loaf for a tea party I have planned with some friends. I was wondering if you guys freeze it with or without the glaze. Thanks a lot!
