Strawberry Bread

If you're anything like me, your salivating already just having read that title!

Yes, folks! There is such a thing as Strawberry Bread, and it's a beautiful thing!! :o)

The very first time I made this recipe (courtesy of My Baking Addiction) , I only made one loaf just to see how it would turn out. I made it one afternoon, and by that evening, DH and I had eaten more than half the loaf!

So I made more!

Don't worry, we're not gonna eat them all at once. I made extras to freeze so we can have yummy Strawberry Bread even when strawberries aren't in season. Yum!

Look at those big beautiful strawberry pieces! Go ahead . . . take a closer look . . .

Yum!!!!!!! :oD
