The pink china in this photo is my grandmother's china. I can't think of Mother's Day without thinking of her. Her birthday is late April, just before Mother's Day. She loved the color Pink and she loved Roses. She had a few rose bushes outside of her little home.
Every spring the women in our large extended family plant pink flowers to remember her and honor her. I am privileged to have been the recipient of her china, and I treasure it. Mothers Day is the perfect day for a tea party to honor her.
Credit for this recipe goes to my daughter. I think she snagged a clipping from my recipe files that I had never tried, when she left for college. She made it, and turned it into her specialty. So, Every time I make it, I will forever think of my sweet girl! The perfect recipe to do with our Mothers Day tea party.
Here we are at her wedding just a few months ago.
This recipe is lightly sweet. I recommend serving it with a light glaze on top, rather than increasing the sugar. I love that it is not overly sweet. So many breads are nearly cupcakes, and I love this lightly lemony sweet bread.
Play around with your yogurt! Vanilla or Lemon is devine, but feel free to mix it up with any flavor such as a lime, raspberry, or other!
Let's get baking!
