Blueberry, Lemon & White Chocolate Quick Bread image

I had a bunch of fresh blueberries, lemons, buttermilk & white chocolate chips to use up after the Scandinavian leg of the Zaar World Tour #6. This morning I was making a Greek breakfast wrap for Zingo that would use up Kalamata olives & feta cheese, but I wasn't sure my family was going to like it, so I created this moist & delicious quick bread to "sweeten the deal". ;) Incidentally, they ended up enjoying both the Greek wraps & the bread! :D
