Gradually beat in lemon juice. Add milk alternately with dry ingredients and stir well. Add pecans if desired. Turn into a greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan.

    Hey Steph, I agree about the lemon being refreshing. I've been in Franklin, TN, doing companion/caregiving with my mother-in-law.

    I have one slice left! It was heavy, I think I beat it too much, but it was still tasty.

    Your lemon bread sounded so good.I'm kind of with you on that.Lemon would be a close second to chocolate. I think I would enjoy a lemon glaze on the top of it ❤❤ But that's just me I like extra lemony flavor❤❤

    I would have enjoyed the extra lemon glaze too. I think some lemon curd would have been good too.
