Bread. . .

Bread. . .
is the one food I can not go without!

And, dear ones, this banana nut bread 
has truly gone straight to my taste buds!!!

A true vision of loveliness. . .
this is a light, heavenly taste of sweetness 
that surpasses any I've ever tasted!!!

The most difficult part of this recipe
is waiting for the bread to cool before slicing!!!

While living in the Colorado Springs area,
I taught at Widefield Recreation Center Pre~School!
One of my students mothers shared her Grandmother's 
homemade Banana Nut Bread recipe with me. . .
and it is truly the b e s t nut bread e v e r!!!
