Grammy Nell's Banana Nut Bread
"This is my grandmother’s banana bread recipe, but I have changed it a bit to fit MY tastes. It can also be made in muffin tins, but it’s a 2 loaf recipe, so it makes LOTS of muffins. I am highly allergic to walnuts so I am always looking for recipes with pecans. This is a winner. I keep a bag of pecans in the freezer so I always have them on hand and the freezer keeps them fresh. The recipe calls for sour milk. I have substituted this a few different ways and they have been fine. Try using ¼ cup fat free half and half and ¼ cup fat free sour cream or plain yogurt. I did some research and the traditional substitute for sour milk is evaporated milk and vinegar, but that sounds gross to me."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Amy and I live in CT. I love to cook and try new recipes. My kitchen is my favorite room in my house and where I spend most of my time!
Both my parents were always cooking, mom baked and dad did everything except baking. Some of my recipes come from my grandmother, Nell, but have been updated. The rest fly out of my head in the middle of the night...or are things I have seen in magazines, cookbooks and on TV twisted around to my liking. I find it hard to follow a recipe, but I am trying to do that without changing them all the time.
