Banana Bread

I'm kind of tired because I just wrote those other two posts (pumpkin soup and chicken noodle soup) so I won't say too much. But... THIS WAS THE BEST BANANA BREAD EVER! Oh my gosh, if you make one thing from the recipes I give you MAKE THIS! I had one bite and (too myself, embarrassingly) out-loud said "This banana bread is so effing good I want to have it's little banana bread babies!" Yes. That good. Not kidding.
