Poppy-Seed Bread (submitted by Caroline
Thompson to A Taste of Heaven). I added a

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Count on an upper body workout! It will help atone
for the calories you're about to consume.
) Pour
batter into two greased loaf pans. Bake @
325 degrees for 45-60 minutes. (I use three
loaf pans, and my oven requires 60 + minutes.
Use the toothpick test, and watch for the sides
of the loaf to shrink from the loaf pan. Count
on longer baking times if you use a larger loaf pan.)
This glaze is excellent, but not recommended if
blood sugar is a big issue:
3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbs. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. butter
1/2 tsp. almond extract
Mix all ingredients and pour over warm bread.
