Mama's Banana Bread

AN EASY RECIPE
Baking banana bread is routine in my kitchen during the fall and winter seasons, however, it reminds me so clearly of my parents home during the weeks leading to Christmas. I will hold on to and continue the tradition of having banana bread and coffee cake (recipe to come soon!) as a sure indicator that Santa is coming! My mama would work all day on these two desserts...she would make MANY and would wrap each one individually and place them in the dinning room.  Each morning (afternoon or night) the family could nibble on her wonderful holiday desserts or she would give them to neighbors/friends who stopped by our home during the season.  My condo in the city feels like home, now as an adult, with the same smells I had as a child...
