Luscious LowFat Lemon/Lime Poppy Seed Quick Bread

Luscious LowFat Lemon/Lime Poppy Seed Quick Bread for the bread machine!


Ingredients:
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice or combination of both
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 jumbo eggs (I use jumbo but you can sub 3 lg/xlg)
2/3 cup applesauce
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (I only use Salt Sense ~ 1/3 less sodium w/no weird taste)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup poppy seeds
2 cups all-purpose flour
the zest of 1 lemon/lime 


Directions:
Spray the baking pan w/cooking spray. Place the ingredients in the pan in the order listed. Select Quick or Cake setting and start your bread machine. Use a rubber spatula around the edges to be sure that the dry ingredients get completely moistened during the mixing time. When the bread/cake cycle is finished, remove the pan from the machine. Most bread machine recipes say that you need to wait 10 minutes before removing bread from the pan and another 10 before you slice it but.. I never do! I sliced into this and was thoroughly enjoying the first piece with a cup of tea long before that initial 10 minute cool down was up! LOL :)


I imagine that you could bake this in a regular oven at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour but why heat up the kitchen when the machine can do it all? Just be careful not to over mix ~ use a wooden spoon not a mixer~ as it is a "quick" bread recipe

I sat down to read one of my books tonight and what I found was alarming! I knew that there were some harmful chemicals in my Health and Beauty Products, but when I looked up what some of these chemicals were I was beside myself. I am still working on some research, but would like to share what I have found so far with you. The following is a PDF of a printable list of chemicals you should stay away from: http://www.ewg.org/files/EWG_cosmeticsguide.pdf Here is another site that provides a slide show of how these chemicals can affect your health: http://www.slideshare.net/Livingpureorganics/organic-cosmetics-presentation As I do more research I will be adding to this page so be sure to check back often for more information.
