Lemon Blueberry Squash Bread , fresh lemon juice, and zest, luscious blueberries combined with shredded yellow squash are the perfect ingredients for a summer quick bread.

Glazed Strawberry Bread
Glazed Strawberry Bread will get you in the mood for Spring. It is full of fresh strawberries and covered with a simple glaze. STRAWBERRY QUICK BREAD Strawberry bread tastes like spring in a quick bread. It is so tender, moist, and full of strawberry goodness. The recipe is easy and quick, with no mixer needed. We love this bread for breakfast, but who says you can't have it for dessert with a dollop of whipped cream and some chunky strawberry sauce? I can't wait for Spring to arrive in East Texas! Unlike when I was growing up, fresh fruit is in the grocery stores all year around, but one thing hasn't changed: seasonal fruit always has a better price because it is plentiful. Like apples in the Fall are cheaper, peaches, watermelons and cantaloupes in the summer, and all kinds of berries in the spring and early summer. I love that Strawberries are beginning to make a big appearance here in the grocery stores, which means the prices will start to go down.

Old School Fried Biscuits {aka Camp Biscuits at our house!}
Camp Biscuits have been around my house ever since I was a little girl, then I started making them for my children on Saturday morning. We make them here at the house, when we are camping, and at the deer lease. These make delicious and quick beignets! Just cut them in half, fry them, and dust with powdered sugar.

Cream Cheese Biscuits

Only three ingredients, self-rising flour, butter, and the star of the recipe–– cream cheese! Who would have thought a cookbook solely about biscuits would grab such an interest in me. Nathalie Depree's Southern Biscuits cookbook did just that. You can find every biscuit imaginable, from the traditional ones all the way to the outlandish ones. She goes into great detail on all the ins and outs of making the perfect biscuit. I have always been a big fan of her in her television days on PBS in the '80s, not to mention all of her many cookbooks. You could say she is my all time favorite Southern cook.

Apple Walnut Zucchini Bread
Quick Bread is one of the first things that I learned to make in my first year of Home Economics. Now you can tell how old I am. (he he) I have to say, Home Economics was always my favorite class in my high school years, and interestingly enough, since I was in high school, that class has undergone numerous name and status changes. Like the cooking part---the class I took is now totally separate and called Culinary Arts Class. Historically, the class was mostly women, but with the serge in the culinary field, that has changed. Quick Bread is a term used in making a bread batter that is made rather quickly using a leavening agent other than yeast. Zucchini bread falls in that category. I am a big fan of fresh apple cake . After I saw the recipe for Zucchini Bread over at Joy of Bak ing and she added an apple to her recipe, I decided to add grated apple to my recipe too. This Apple Walnut Zucchini Bread reminds me a lot of Carrot Bread, but without the

Any Banana Bread recipe I come across, I am going to jump on it. That is exactly what happened with this recipe. A sweet friend of mine gave me a recipe for banana bread that does not call for any milk, sour cream, yogurt, etc. I have never seen a recipe that didn't call for some sort of dairy product. I couldn't wait to try it, and I am here to tell you that this is the moistest Banana Bread ever.
Cornbread and a Cold Glass of Milk
Baked Cornbread, cut a slice and pour cold milk over it in a glass. In the South this is poor mans food but no one ever knew it because it taste like your eating like a king! When I came into the Little family, I was used to eating Southern Buttermilk Cornbread . Needless to say the longer I was in the family, the more I began to have a taste for sweet cornbread. Traditionally, sweet cornbread contains equal portions of flour and yellow cornmeal with a liberal amount of sugar. There is one thing that has not changed since I came into the family and that is my affection for a late night snack of a cold glass of Milk and Cornbread.
