..ok maybe not space and time, but definitely food! And what better way to welcome you than with a fantastic lemon blueberry bread recipe, perfect for summer!
I made this last Thursday in preparation for the 4th of July weekend. I was gearing up to go camping with my mom, dad, boyfriend and... my parents cats. No, I'm not joking, we brought the cats along.

Anyways, my parents always complain that I bake all these delicious things, and they never get to try them. Not like I'm doing it on purpose, they live an hour away and I usually bake for my coworkers. None-the-less, I wanted to make my parents eat their words, literally... and deliciously.
Blueberry Lemon Bread
Ingredients
-2 tbsp canola oil
-2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
-1/3 cup of egg whites (2 eggs)
-1 and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
-2 tsp baking powder
-3/4 cup agave syrup
-1 tsp salt
-zest from one lemon
-1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
-1/2 cup skim milk
Make it!
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bread pan (I use organic cooking spray).
-Combine oil, lemon juice, eggs, milk, and agave syrup in a small bowl.
-In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and combine until just moist. Don't mix it too much, or else the batter will get too tough.

| Nice and smooth! |
-Fold in blueberries and lemon zest. *To fold, carefully incorporate the dough over the blueberries. Do not mix vigorously, as this will break the blueberries and turn the dough blue*
 |
| Mmm.. Fresh fruit! |
- Pour batter into greased bread pan. Bake for an hour or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into bread.
Well there it is, my first post on my new blog! I hope you all enjoyed, see you soon!
