What's Cooking, Playa Vista?
Pucker Up - Glazed Lemon Pound Cake from Playa Vista guest food blogger, Patti Londre
 There is a lemon on your kitchen counter, I just know it. Maybe purchased at our Playa Vista farmer's market. Or, a friend brought some over from her tree. Possibly a big bag was on sale at Costco. In any case, fresh lemon is the ULTIMATE yummy flavor for cooking both savory and sweet things. Here's a recipe for Glazed Lemon Pound Cake to put that lemon to good use! You will find this recipe not only mouthwatering good, but practically foodproof. Enjoy HERE
