Banana Bread

I am always buying bananas. I also forget that I have them so they usually end up getting too ripe, and I will just throw them out. I do have a perfect use for those bananas with the unsightly brown spots all over them. Make banana bread! I made some a few weeks ago, and my daughter couldn't stop eating it. That's a good sign. I love this bread. It's perfect for breakfast. Or lunch, or an afternoon snack...I could go on and on. You get the idea.
