Do You Have a Sweet Tooth? I Do!

I love sweets. I have to have something sweet with each of my meals. Most people would think, "How could I possibly lose weight if I'm eating sweets everyday." I say, "How can you not if you savor the taste of something sweet everyday?" Moderation is the key. So, for all of you sweet tooths out there, here's a wonderful recipe that I like to make and have with low fat ice cream or sherbert. It's strawberry bread and it's delicious!

WARNING: I have a sliver at a time so I can have three slivers over the course of a day (which really equals to 1 slice by the end of the day). This is so good it's dangerous!
