Three Cheers For The Mom Village

When I was younger, I was blessed to be surrounded by many wonderful moms. Lunches, chitchat, advice … recipes! Whatever I needed, the universe responded appropriately. Now that I’m a mom, I talk about the importance of “the village” while raising my own kids because I feel like I really was the product of a true village of smart, talented, loving moms. Soccer games, rides to the beach, spaghetti dinners, family campouts … lots of mom love to go around.

Hug A Mom Today

On this Mother’s Day, I want to hug all the moms who have made me the mom I am today – including my own! And I want to give a great big hug to the mom who shared this family recipe with me for Poppy Seed Bread With a Citrus Glaze! I haven’t changed much from the original recipe – mainly, I now use a gluten-free flour. You can add a splash of almond extract if you have it on hand – I rarely do so I didn’t include it in this recipe! If you are avoiding white flour and white sugar, just stop reading now.

Don’t skip the citrus glaze!

Poppy Seed Bread – Breakfast Or Dessert

I hope that you can bake this poppy seed bread for a special mom in your life this month. Or make it with your kids and enjoy it together, this recipe is very easy!

This poppy seed bread is breakfast and dessert this weekend…

How To Make Poppy Seed Bread?

Throw all the ingredients into a large stand mixer. That’s it. Pour into two loaf pans or one loaf pan and some muffin tins. My kids always vote for at least a few muffins because they cook quicker… I can’t argue with their logic.
