Blueberry Lemon Sour Cream Quick Bread


Blueberry Lemon Sour Cream Quick Bread Slice 400

The blueberry theme continues!  This time it is a Blueberry Lemon Sour Cream Quick Bread from The Cooking Actress.  This is the first time I have tried blueberry in a bread, and I must say it works even without the glaze.  The texture is definitely not as soft as a cake, but it's perfect for either breakfast or as a dessert.
