Strawberry Mini Breads

Was invited to a BBQ and decided to bake something sweet for our hostess.  As the strawberry season is in full swing, decided to have some fun with strawberries again!!

When I saw this recipe - strawberry-bread - decided this was so easy I had to try it!! What I did though, is baked mini-breads (as I think they are way cuter in small versions!)!!
