Banana Bread

Dear Readers,

Happy Saturday! It is cool here in the north and that means it is time for baking and chili. Let's start with the baking. I know a few taste testers that like banana bread; so much so, that it is their favorite dessert type bread. So here is my adapted recipe from Taste of Home.

7 Cups Flour
6 Cups Sugar
4 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Salt
8 Eggs
8 Ripe Bananas
2 Cups Oil
1 1/4 Cups Milk
4 tsp. Vanilla

Mix wet ingredients together in a mixer. Mix until combined. Add all dry ingredients as mixer is on. Mix well.  Makes 4 loaves. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 70 minutes.

Bon Appetit!

I also went cookbook shopping today. I purchased a Mediterranean cookbook filled with pictures and recipes galore. I also picked up a couple of hometown cookbooks. The potluck recipe type. The cooking and baking section at at bookstore is so wonderful. I would take them all home and read all day if I could. Oh, to own a bed and breakfast and to cook for people. Dreams, Dreams.....
