Banana Bread

Jamie wants my banana bread recipe- so I figure why not share it far and wide! I'll blog it!

Banana Nut Bread
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour!
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 large mashed bananas (overripe is best)
1 c. chopped nuts (I use walnuts)

1 Tbsp melted butter
TOPPING: 1 tsp. cinnamon mixed with 1 Tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 350
Grease a loaf pan, and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. flour.
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in sifted dry ingredients. Beat in mashed bananas. Add nuts. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes (or 65!-test with a toothpick, sometimes stays gooey in the middle). While cake is still warm pour melted butter over top and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Old fashioned comfort food! Enjoy!

Just another nice weekend in South FL!

This is where we were Friday night... a little cove just off the Key Biscayne Yacht Club; it's one of our favorite spots. It feels like we're on vacation, even though it's just south of our mooring field. (works for me!)

We went exploring in the in the a.m. Saw a nice manatee, lots of birds... and mangroves!
