Strawberry Bread with Pink Icing

WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

Hi Everyone~ I’m stopping by today from Turnips 2 Tangerines. I stopped by to drop off a few loaves of my Strawberry Bread with Pink Icing~ Wanda Ann is nice enough to let me share a recipe here on Memories by the Mile each month and I though she’d like a slice or two of this yummy bread! I am not sure where or from whom I got this recipe, but I do know I have been making it for what seems like forever! It’s delicious.

I love quick breads~ They are versatile, easy, convenient, and they always bring that extra “something” to the table. I seem to make quick breads according to the seasons…Do you too?? Zucchini Bread in August, September is Apple Bread, Pumpkin Bread in October, Banana Nut Bread for Thanksgiving, Cranberry Bread in December, Irish Soda Bread in March, Easter Egg Bread in April and Spring brings Rhubarb Bread and this delicious Strawberry Bread~ I love to serve Strawberry Bread with a festive Pink Icing for Easter. It’s always a big hit!
