Dell’s Banana Bread
This recipe was a childhood favorite. It is an easy and very delicious sweet bread. An excellent way to use your over ripened bananas. It is a nice bread to bring for a hostess gift. Easy and quick to make.
I think it is the first recipe I ever made by myself. Dell was a woman my mother met when she lived in North Carolina in the mid 50″s. She was there when my Dad was in the service. I was not even a twinkle in their eye at the time. My mother and all of us made this recipe countless times. My boys love when I make this bread it smells so yummy and you can change it with nuts or chocolate chips when you want to make it different.
