I’m always fiddling around with recipes I come across, to add a dash (or in some cases more than just a dash) of healthy for the kids. And with Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve been scouring

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve been scouring pinterest for some fun Valentine’s Day treats for the days leading u to the 14th.

How to make Strawberry Pecan Bread

I came across a delicious recipe for strawberry bread and thought this would make a great Valentine’s Day breakfast addition or deliciousness in the school lunchbox. I’ve revamped the recipe quite a bit to try and make this as healthy as possible.

The bread isn’t very sweet so sandwiching two slices together with a little extra homemade strawberry jam or  store bought organic strawberry jam won’t hurt!

And I made my bread in a Bundt pan to make the slices not as overwhelming for my kids to finish when they take the same to school.

Here, give my Strawberry Pecan Bread recipe a try…
