Hi Michelle,
I tried your mom's mom's bread. Over Christmas Susan gave me an incredible loaf of your grandmother's cinnamon bread. Well I did it and it didn't taste like Susan's. It wasn't as soft and pillowy. What did I do wrong. The recipe didn't have that much info so I winged alot of it. Would it be okay to write a bit more detail. I desperately want to do it right. Also hope it's okay I'm a follower. I'm a friend of your mom's and worked with her over Christmas. Also met your aunt Denise. I have a blog too feel free to follow it. Thanks. Lee
Oh wow! I am so glad I found your site! I used the recipe for the Lemon bread but I substituted the lemon with oranges. It is a hit with my family! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these recipes.
