Pucker up blueberry lemon bread

A heaping handful of berries, a squeeze of lemon and one scoop of greek yogurt, make this dessert extra sweet!

You might be wondering how those three ingredients included in this bread would taste good. Sweet, tangy and tart are the three things that your palette experiences.  This bread did not last long in our house and there’s only two of us. I grabbed this recipe off of http://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/ and added in my own few ingredients. I have to say, this recipe is easy and foolproof, something everyone can make. Follow along and try it for yourself!
