Lucious Loaves




The other day my friend and I were chatting while waiting for our kindergartners to get out of school and she mentioned that she had some banana bread in the oven at home. Mmm....That sounded so good. As luck would have it, I happened to have 3 beautifully black bananas just begging to be made into bread. Yesterday I was still digging out of my organizing project, but today (in a freshly organized and clean kitchen I might add) I found I had plenty of time to make it. While it was baking, I picked up Twilight (again), but the heavenly aromas coming from my oven were somewhat distracting. Neither Lyndsi or I can wait till those beautiful loaves cool so we can try it!

Banana Bread

1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
3 mashed bananas
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 c. flour
1/2 c. nuts (optional)



Mix shortening and sugar together. Add bananas and eggs and mix. Add remaining ingredients. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes. Makes 2-3 loaves.
