A good old fashioned banana bread like the name says! I used butter, orange juice and omitted the nuts. DH prefers his slice with butter, it is moist enough for me as is.

I live in Sultan, WA, but grew up in the mid-west. I'm a wife and mother of two boys. I love to cook, gardening/landscaping, and decorating. I collect cookbooks and love to look at them for new ideas. I am trying to write down all of my family's recipes for my children to have someday. I think it's important that family and even regional food traditions are known and passed on to future generations. <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket>
