Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Need a last minute Mother's Day brunch recipe? This delicious bread is perfect for it. My nana would have called this a "tea bread" because it goes perfectly with a cup of tea and coffee. I have been enjoying this bread for breakfast or an afternoon snack for a few days now and  it holds up very well.
