Strawberries & Cream Bread

The WalMart here in town had a 2 pound container of fresh strawberries for $1 and I couldn't pass up a great deal.  So, I bought two containers, got home and didn't know what I was going to do with 4 pounds of strawberries. 

I searched the internet for recipes and found this one for bread and it turned out really good!!!  Hope you enjoy it as well.
