Banana Bread

Friday is baking day. I always bake something for the weekend, my husband loves to take something with him when he drives very early to play golf. Today is Banana bread. All that ripe bananas in my fruit bowl that we didn’t eat during the week transforms in a delicious treat for the weekend. This recipe is from Dona Hay’s book “Fast, Fresh, Simple”.
