Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

I recently helped with a baby shower for my daughter Jenna in which we made muffins but I also ended up making coconut bread and lemon bread.  It was then that I got to thinking it would be nice to have several other breads to choose from as the muffins dont seem to go over as well as sweet breads do. .. so instead of my lemon blueberry muffins, I found this lemon blueberry poundcake from chef in training, she has the best recipes, you can find a picture of this bread here

Add dry ingredients alternatively with the buttermilk to the butter/sugar/lemon zest/egg mixture

And for nourishment of the soul  here is a saying I found on faceboook:

"Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination.  The best is yet to come"

also "The moment I stop comparing myself to others is the moment I find my true strength"
