WW Recipe of the Day: Lemon Rosemary Blueberry Bread
I've certainly been in a baking mood lately, though I suppose it happens this time every year!
And since it's so easy to overdo it with sweet treats during the holidays, I wanted to bake something that wasn't too sweet and could be enjoyed as a snack anytime of day.
I'm happy to say that I found that "not-too-sweet something" in this Sugar-Free Savory Lemon Rosemary Blueberry Bread.

Pete shared some of this deliciously different bread today and I can't stop thinking about it. I really want to try it with cranberries instead of blueberries.

I have made this 4 times within the past month. WE LOVE IT! I’ve used all purpose GF flour & sprinkle a tad of raw sugar on top. My husband usually only likes super sweet things, but he loves this. Thank you so much fir sharing!
