    Seems many of those old cookbooks never fail, I have a few like that too Catherine. I'll have to try this recipe Catherine. My son Red loves banana bread almost as much as I do. We sure could use a sweet treat to cheer ups up.

    That looks like a great loaf! I wish I had some over-ripe bananas at home right now so I could make it! I've been really bad at visiting blogs lately... life has been crazy! Just catching up :)
