Lemon Pound Cake

     If you ask me why I have been on a Lemon kick lately, my honest answer is I have no idea... and then I would add, just be grateful and don't ask so many questions...This happens with Peanut Butter as well, I get in a mood and it's all I can think about... right up until I don't....then it's onto my new flavor of the week...don't act like you don't know what I'm talkin' bout... Like in Middle School when I loved Charlie that one week til he loved me back and then I thought Bobby was cuter..."sorry Charlie"...I digress ...Back to Lemons, and Lemon Pound Cake in particular, this sweet tangy creation turned out so spectacular it might cause flavor monogamy.  The macro's are definitely a pro in the pro/con game of love, each of the 4 LARGE servings are only 112 calories, 3.2g net carbs and 11g protein.  Give this a whirl and see how long Lemon can hold your attention...  ;)
