Submitted by sonnet26

"I got the original recipe from one of my sisters (who got it from another sister), changed the things I didn't like about the original recipe, and this is the result. This is so good it's almost a sin."

3. Strawberry Bread: In a medium bowl, gently stir the first three ingredients together and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
5. Add the strawberry mixture and stir just until blended (don't overmix or you'll ruin the texture).
