Banana Bread

I have finally found a recipe for banana bread that I love!!!

I have made quite a few versions in the past and they were ok but never blog worthy. Until now.

This is the perfect thing to have for breakfast or as a snack and let me tell you that it will make your house smell AMAZING. I even went outside a couple of time just so that I could open up the door to smell the bread baking in the oven.

I was browsing on allrecipes.com for a way to use up the bananas that were going to go bad if I didn't use them soon. I found this recipe for Banana Bread that had a lot of excellent reviews so I decided to give it a shot.

Oh I am so glad that I did. My rear end is not happy because I've eaten half of the loaf myself. My daughter helped me and we followed the recipe exactly as written. We all liked it so much that I don't think that I will alter the recipe at all the next time that I make it.
