Too many calories for a loaf , tastes great but 1/16 of a loaf for 172 calories?? Nope I’ll feed this to my guests - 5/17/18
WONDER--WOMAN
Tastes wonderful -- the lemon is subtle and yet flavorable. Not too strong, too tart or too sweet. I'm sure once you have tried this "Sweet Little Loaf" that you will want to fine tune it to your family's special tastes! - 7/3/15
