Welcome to Foodie Friday!
One of my favorite fruits is strawberries. I love strawberry anything. Since strawberry season is from April thru August, we can depend on a constant supply of fresh strawberries nearly 6 months of the year in our supermarkets or farm stands. The nutrition facts alone make the strawberry a wise fruit choice. Approximately 8 berries provide 85 mg of Vitamin C or 160% of the Recommended Daily Value.
I'm somewhat of a Strawberry Bread virgin, I'd never tried it before. The recipe that I chose uses fresh strawberries, is easy to prepare and really delicious!
The final result is a very tasty, a bit gooey, moist bread.....I LOVE the addition of the swirled strawberry jam on top!
I'm anxious to hear my Mother's review......I sent her some of the bread in her Mother's Day package!
Go grab some strawberries and make your family happy with this super delicious and easy bread!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

WELCOME TO FOODIE FRIDAY!
When I was growing up we lived in the country and always had a big garden. My Dad and Mom would plant all kinds of delicious veggies. We even had Raspberry bushes, and Strawberry plants. I never realized how lucky we were at the time. Today what I wouldn't give for one of those gardens. Fresh everything......yum!
Speaking of fresh-----it's Strawberry season here in NJ. Did you know that strawberries are full of antioxidants and contain malic acid which helps whiten your teeth? Now that's a great couple of reasons to enjoy them even more.
This year I came across a Strawberry Pie recipe that came with rave reviews from Chelsea at Two Twenty One. It's not only delicious, but it makes a beautiful presentation for almost any occasion. From picnics to family dinners, this pie will be the hit of the event.
Very simple ingredients below....you can make the crust yourself if you prefer. Bake crust prior to filling.
Cornstarch/water mixture. Adding jello to the mixture.
Finished pie---My husband ended up eating 2 pieces!! He hardly ever eats dessert so you now know, this is truly a WINNER recipe!

Hurry, grab your strawberries and make this for your family or maybe just yourself! It is truly delightful! You may add a dollop of your fav whipped cream to top it off if you like.
ENJOY!
