The original recipe called for blueberries but when I went to the grocery store blueberries were $4. I immediately decided to use strawberries instead - they were only $2.50. Also the original recipe said to bake for 35 minutes but mine took more like 45 minutes. Once you hit the 40 minute mark start checking it every couple of minutes with a toothpick.

This recipe was very good and goes great with bacon! I will say there is a lot of bread/cake so it is very filling. My husband suggesting putting syrup on it which I think is an excellant idea since the bread got a little dry after a couple of days -we only had two people eating it so it took awhile to finish :)
I hope you have a great weekend!
