Hmm Banana bread. One of my favourite ways to pretend I am eating healthy food whilst instead consuming cake. The abundance of bargain priced strawberries means I have been also playing around with different ways to use them in my cooking. This recipe I stumbled on after my toddler insisted I take the Coles Supermarket in house magazine home with me as a special gift from her to me, lucky she did…..
