 Strawberry Bread

I love strawberries so much that they usually just get eaten plain. I really haven't thought to make anything with them, but this does sound delicious and looks good too.

The strawberry bread looks delicious, and it won't be long until it can be made with locally grown strawberries. I can hardly wait!

I recently made strawberry bread but wouldn't have thought of the rose accent. What a great touch!
