Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread

Sweet breads are one of my favorite things. Also? Cream cheese. So when the two are combined, I'm all about it. This yummy bread isn't overly sweet...but just sweet enough. Great lightly toasted and spread with...what else? A little butter and some strawberry jam! This is great for a quick out-the-door breakfast or throw some in a lunch for a treat.
