"This is a simple, yet delicious recipe for Banana Bread! My mom used this recipe all the time when we were growing up, and we ate it for breakfast, snack, or dessert. It fills your house with that yummy Banana Bread smell, and uses up those ripe bananas. Add nuts or chocolate chips if you'd like."

I am a single mom and engineer who loves to cook on her free time! My favorite thing to do is bake, but I've been finding that I am getting more adventurous and trying new dishes and flavors for meats and other main courses.
