It seems that baking has made it into our new weekly routine. It not only provides a math lesson for the girls but it's also therapeutic to me.
This banana bread recipe was passed down from my Mom. When we were growing up she would always have to at least double if not triple the recipe so it would last between the 3 of us kids. She would send it to me in college and still surprises us with it on our doorstep. It’s a family favorite and I know you will love it too!
