Since I recently did a posting on Gorilla Food I thought why not do another one on banana bread? Hehe. Yesterday, I baked banana bread for the first time ever! I don’t know what took me so long. Even my 20-year-old little brother told me he had baked it himself before. Although he said the recipe he used including Miracle Whip which sounds pretty interesting…hmmmm. I wish I could have tried a bite of that loaf! I’ve don’t think I’ve ever had a bad slice on banana bread though. Even when it’s the healthiest option in a gas station ‘bakery’ section on a road trip I still love it. So found out why ingredients I would need and behold I had all I needed in my pantry already! I followed a few recipes and then made it my own. It turned out lovely and filled my kitchen with such a sweet scent. Best of all it’s preservative free food, which is the best way to be!
