Strawberry Loaf


This is one of the quickest breads to mix together.  As long as you know ahead of time that you are going to make it, you can pull out the frozen strawberries to defrost.  I found this recipe in the newspaper over 30 years ago.  I love strawberries so I thought it would be something interesting to try.  It is certainly a different way to use strawberries in a baked good.  I love that it makes two loafs and I don't have to double the recipe.  If you go strawberry picking, make sure you save some for this bread.   Place 20 oz of strawberries in a freezer zip-lock bag and store until ready to use.





3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
dash of salt
3 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
20 oz. frozen strawberries, completely thawed
1 1/4 salad oil
1 1/4 cups nuts, if desired (I did not use)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease two 9x5 loaf pans.

Place eggs in mixing bowl.  Beat well.  Add strawberries, oil & nuts



Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and sugar.  Mix on low, just until mixed.  Do not overmix.

Spoon evenly between two loaf pans.  Bake for one hour until toothpick comes out clean.

The Best Vanilla Cake Ever!

Full credit for the ultimate vanilla cake and vanilla frosting goes to Rosie from  Sweetapolita .  Not only were the directions really easy to follow, but I made two batches on two different days and they came out exactly the same AND perfect.  I have never made a cake this way before.  It was backwards from the way I've usually done it.  It almost seemed like making pastry for a minute.  The only thing I did different was add 1 Tbs. of vanilla bean paste and then 1 Tbs. of vanilla extract.

Crock Pot Spiced Nuts

Have you ever bought hot nuts from a street vendor in New York City?  It's the best!  My daughter, Megan, LOVES nuts, especially sugar-coated ones.  I found this recipe on Pinterest and I made a few changes here and there.  I won't say it's the fastest way to make these type of nuts, but it certainly is easy.  Make sure you are going to be home for several hours, though.

Bailey's Irish Cream Fudge

adapted from iVillage.com March 1995 This is an obvious choice for my second recipe since I just mentioned it in the last post.  I'm not kidding when I tell you that this is the best fudge you will ever eat.  It is my daughter, Ryan's favorite fudge ever.  The best part is it makes 5 lbs., definitely enough to go around.  I make this every Christmas.
