RecipeBook

Another one of my intentions this year is to finish my recipe book.  I've actually been working on it for a couple years and have some great recipes ready.  Now I'm going to start making the food... one a week for sure... taking a picture of the food and assembling my cook book.

Today's recipe is Banana Nut Bread... all the photos seem to be blurry... not sure what I did. 

This recipe comes from the 1949 Betty Crocker Cookbook. It was my grandmothers book.
