Chocolate Banana Bread

When you find that your bananas are turning, peel them and measure out 4 cups and freeze them in a freezer bag. Take them out of the freezer a day before you want to use them, place them in the refrig. and let them thaw."

Delicious! At first I thought that it was way too wet to cook properly but it did get done - and it was wonderful! It's like a restaurant recipe, moist and heavy. I had a bit of a time getting it cut into pieces so next time I may try cooking it in muffin tins. Thanks for the great recipe!

For fun I love to fish for trout when I'm in Georgia and salt water fish when I'm in Florida in the winter.
My passion is to learn how to cook everything! Everyway, and Anyway. Would love to host my own cooking shows on National Television. I have had local shows but nothing national. Look out Paula Deen! lol
