How to make Strawberry Bread
I feel like this was strawberry week at Lilyshop. I bought so many strawberries at the Farmers Market and I wanted to use them before they went bad so Sheena and I were thinking of recipes left and right. We sat at the kitchen counter staring at the box of fresh strawberries when it came to us. Strawberry bread! We both looked at eachother and laughed because neither of us had actually made strawberry bread before. Actually, I don't think we've even eaten strawberry bread before. This super soft, sweet strawberry bread is incredible. If you like strawberries you'll love it!

Antioxidant Chocolates
I have finally done it. A dessert that's actually good for you! Yes, sooooo good for you! This dessert is full of antioxidants. Don't you hear that all the time? Eat dark chocolate - it's full of antioxidants! OK, don't mind if I do.
Ok, so what exactly does that mean? Well basically, antioxidants gobble up free radicals and destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments. Yay! As I gobble this chocolate it's gobbling up destructive molecules! Go me. Oh, and a little fun fact. Just because it's full of antioxidants doesn't mean you should eat all 14. Share with friends : )
