Happy Friday!

I had one of those weeks where every day felt like it should have been a day ahead. Monday felt like Tuesday, Tuesday felt like Wednesday, and so on…
That sort of week is exhausting.

I barely cooked dinner this week. I’m ashamed to admit that a few dinners this week consisted of popcorn and Italian water ice.
It was glorious in its own right, but probably not the best standard to set.

Feeling L-A-Z-Y. But hey, that’s OK sometimes.
This quick bread made me feel a lot better. It’s loaded with sweet strawberries and topped off with a lemony glaze. Spring in bread form!

If you weren’t feelin’ the green smoothie situation I posted yesterday, this may make it up to you.

It’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or just snacking. Plus! It’s on the healthier side. I cut down on the oil and subbed in Greek yogurt.

The result is still light, fluffy, and moist. I wouldn’t judge, though, if you slathered a piece with sweet butter. Everything in moderation.

It’s quick to throw together (hence the term “quick bread”) and lasts all week long. It’s perfect with that morning latte or tea or as a late afternoon nibble. You really can’t go wrong.

Celebrate the start of the weekend with a fat slice of this. I know I’m going to.
