I’m not sure why since the election that I’ve been back thinking of individual changes and improvements we can all make to help with climate change? But here is the 2nd new recipe in the week that I’ve tried and that has been so wonderful for our family. I think I’m moving on from making muffins all the time to quick breads. I made this one because my mom gave me all these frozen costco strawberries that needed to be used up. I looked up a recipe and modified it because I was part lazy, part didn’t want to waste eggs, and used what we had a home. And guess what? It turned out pretty fantastic! The kids and Mr. Plastic Picker and the grandparents all loved it! I also dropped off 3 pieces at my parents house. I just had one warmed up with coffee and it was as good as I remember! At Starbucks, an equivalent is about $3.50 a piece! Much better to make it at home and less plastic. For the next office party, I’ll definitely bring some of this quick bread in.

Recipe.

Had to use up frozen Costco strawberries. Modified an online recipe from Taste of Home https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/dishes-beverages/breads-rolls-pastries/bread-recipes/bread-loaves/.

2 cups of regular flour

1 cup of almond flour

1 cup vegetable oil

1 1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of baking soda

2 eggs

2 cups of chopped frozen strawberries (thaw and drain excess water)

1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix dry stuff, mix in liquids, then fold in strawberries and walnuts.

Grease 2 baking loaf trays, then bake 50-60 minutes at 350.

Just typing to remember. It was so good!

YUMMY!!!
