Strawberry Lemon Loaf
"My dearest friend, Carol, was the inspiration behind this recipe. There was a recipe published in this month's issue of Light & Tasty. It gave me some ideas and this bread was the end result. It is perfect as the base for fresh strawberry shortcake. Hope you enjoy!"

This is a delicious sweet bread recipe with nice lemon flavor and aroma. The only trouble I had was the strawberries all shifted to the bottom of the loaf, which left the bottom somewhat soggy. Even so, it was still a yummy treat. We served it as dessert at our backyard Memorial Day picnic with fresh strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Thank you for a lovely recipe!

Absolutely fabulous. Says it all. I did exchange the oil for unsweetened applesauce, just to keep fats lower. OMG..lolol.. as I am reviewing this I see i forgot the skim milk completely. Well all i can say is i would never have known *blush* until i read it. It is moist and wonderful -
Amazing bread! Almost like lemon poppyseed muffins, but with a strawberry kick. Thanks so much!! -
This was awesome! Sliced bread, layered fresh sliced strawberries on top, than drizzled evelyn/athens strawberry sauce recipe #103421 on top. The bread also tasted good all by itself.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
