RECIPE BOX >> Lemon Poppy seed Bread with Lavender Vanilla Glaze
This recipe is amazing! I did a bit of my own variation but I think you can get the general idea. If you like lemon poppy seed then you can appreciate this. Once you get the bread done the glaze really adds a great hint of lavender and vanilla.
//Bread//
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. milk
1 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
1 1/4 c. sugar
3 eggs
2 tbsp. poppy seed
(1 tsp. salt, optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of 4 (5 3/4 x 3 x 2 1/8 inch) loaf pans.
In large mixer bowl combine all bread ingredients. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes). Pour into prepared pans. Bake 32 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
//Glaze//
Put 1 tablespoon of butter and 3 tablespoons of milk or half and half and 2 teaspoon Lavender buds in a small sauce pan. Bring to almost a boil- turn off- cover and let sit for about 2 hours. Strain off Lavender buds. Next in a small mixing bowl blend 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, a dash of salt. Add cooled butter and milk mixture. Stir till all is dissolved. Pour on bread.

I thought that I would finally share a little sneak peek of our condo! Considering we will be staying here a bit longer, why not share!?
1. This little deer I recently thrifted. I am not the biggest fan of gold, but if you love vintage it is one of those things you cant love without having it.
2. Books are an absolute must on the mantle!
3. My favorite thing on our record shelf is the lovely lamp. I got it at a local antique mall.
4. I got this little shelf for a dollar, its black but so lovely!
5. This is an Ikea chair. Not my typical but we need some more seating in the living room.
6. This is an overview.
7. I always wanted a tan globe and one day we found one! Cant forget the adorable fox!
8. After about a year of searching I found some paint by numbers. Not to mention they are perfect!
9. Our lovely star burst clock isn't vintage but the battery powered ones are hard to find!
I hope you enjoyed the preview! Come back soon for more!
Hey Love Muffin, and hello people of the interwebs! It's come to my attention that my awesome ceramic(?) wizard has once again been omitted from a post made by Meg. So I've decided to acknowledge his presence! You can see his brilliance in the bottom right of the sixth image! Upon his wizard tower which is a gift for defeating the possessed caterpillar pot of hideousness. (There's a post about that on here! I promise!)
I know it's small and blurry! But he is glorious and stands forever vigilant in the name of the Kingdom of LivinRom!
Have a magnificent day!
Love you Meg!
