Batch Cooking Plan Plus Mixed Berry Bread Recipe

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"Ever have one of those..."Oh, I just have to stop what I'm doing and make this...now"...moments?! That totally happened to me this weekend. I stopped what I was doing (rather, procrastinated on what I was supposed to be doing) and made these little goodies. Best part is the recipe makes plenty...enough to eat and freeze! Here's what happened before I had "that" moment. I had just grabbed Sandy Coughlin's new book, Reluctant Entertainer, and I was hoping to find a recipe to try this month. Wouldn't you know that I flipped to her "Best Strawberry Bread" recipe...and wouldn't you know that my mom left for us half full boxes of raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. How 'bout that! Mixed Berry Bread it is!!! I made a few adaptions to Sandy's recipe...because I wanted to use whole wheat flour, and I also wanted to try it with part-sucanat, part sugar. Tasty. That is all. And I leave you with the Mixed Berry Bread."
