How do I love this bread? Let me count the ways. It is so moist. The lime glaze rocks. It is less then 200 calories a slice. Of course I rarely restrain myself enough to only eat one slice. I love having things around the house for breakfast that you can just grab and eat. When I go get my baby boy out of his crib the first thing he says to me is eat and dink. (drink) That's where things like this come in handy. The kids love it! Serve this bread at your next brunch it really stands out from the crowd!
