Oh The Joy of Computers ! ! Today I got up and started to work on my blog for today and voila ! ! my computer went nuts . . . So now two hours later, my computer is running fine again after 1 restore and 2 updates and a virus scan. Thank you Microsoft and Bill Gates.
Just a little behind today but I will catch up and get everything done that I need to get done today. I may be up til midnight but - hey, some of my best thoughts are in the middle of the night. : )
There's nothing that smells better to me than the smell of banana bread baking in the house when it's a little outside (except prime rib with garlic and black peppercorns -- but I digress. We'll save that one for another day.). (OK - in Phoenix today, I will have to wait until evening for that chill - but hey at least we will get it today. I can be thankful for that.)
Today I am sharing my Banana Bread recipe with all of you. I like to make this in the small loaf pans and wrap them individually to share with others. I have a loaf pan that makes 6 mini loaves and I love it. See if you can find one - you will find you use it more than you think.
Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy this recipe. I'm off to lunch with a dear friend and then off to photograph some scenery.

Banana Bread

2 eggs
2 tsp. water
2 cups bananas, mashed
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350:. Sift together flour,salt and baking soda. Set aside. Melt
butter on the stove or in microwave. Mix butter and sugar until well blended.
Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add bananas and
vanilla. I always add an estra banana to the mis and more walnuts : ) Fold in flour mixture and walnuts and blend until all flour is moist.
Grease 2 loaf pans and divide batter equally between the 2 pans. Bake for 1
hour or until center of loaf is firm and toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean.
Happy Baking! ! and Have a Great Weekend !
