Berry Mini Breads

Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope all of you amazing Mothers had an absolutely spoiled day yesterday! It was a pretty good day for me. My hubby had to work yesterday, which stunk, but he was so good to me when he did get home. Then we stayed up to 12:00am watching hilarious clips on You Tube.



Here is one of the funniest ones we watched. It's long, but we laughed to hard. It was such a good time. Needless to say though, I'm so tired this morning. Ugh!! That 6:00am alarm clock came way to quickly. I'm thinking tonight, we'll be going to bed early to make up for the lack of sleep.

But before I go, lets just see if I can get through this post someone coherently. I have been in a "bread baking" mood lately. Yesterday I actually started to make up my own recipe for S'mores Monkey Bread with Marshmallow Caramel, but I haven't quite perfected it yet. The Marshmallow Caramel is amazing though. I'm so proud of how that turned out. I just need to perfect the Graham Cracker Bread first. So I'll post this recipe instead. Which is also super amazing. I love berries in spring, so this recipe was super satisfying. The only thing I changed is, I used just regular milk instead of the buttermilk. My buttermilk was past the expiration date, so there was the thinking behind that, but I also really loved how the loaves turned out with the regular milk. I'm thinking that buttermilk would have been too sour for the bread anyways. So yummy!! Enjoy!
