Banana Bread

By

When we moved to Baton Rouge, in 1977, they still had a Welcome Wagon! One of the cool gifts in it was The River Roads Cookbook, with lots of wonderful southern/Cajun recipes. The Banana Bread recipe is the best I have ever made and it has been shared with family and friends all over!
