My mom loves making banana bread for people. They love when she makes it too. I had a few visits to make this morning…and a lot of bananas stored in the freezer so I quickly made some bread. I want to post the recipe here so that it is documented one more place so that I am sure to never lose it.

Thanks for sharing the recipe, Carin. Thanks to your Mom for sharing the bread and the recipe. I am going to make some of this on Saturday and share it with some Nicaraguan families at Church.
I hope you all like it as much as we do! How is Nicaragua? How long will you be there?
I am back in the USA now. I spent three months in Texas visiting extended family. Tomorrow, I’m moving into an apartment in Modesto. Construction on a temple will begin there soon. It is good to be close again to Jared, Stacia and their families. Stacia shared with me last week, that she is expecting a baby girl in mid-February.
