MORE THAN SEW SO

My neighbor, Nancy, stopped in Tuesday morning for coffee and brought a loaf of banana bread. It was delicious and, as we sat and ate and drank our coffee, I asked her what made it so moist and yummy. She asked me to guess…I just rattled off the ingredients that I knew went into banana bread (actually, I listed the ingredients on the back of the banana nut mix that I always use and to which I add an extra banana, a little sour cream and chopped walnuts or pecans). We laughed about it and then I suggested she had added sour cream as well. Well, it wasn’t sour cream, it was Miracle Whip Lite! I couldn’t believe it. We had the loaf nearly gone when hubby came in with one of our grandsons and they finished it. I didn’t even take a photo of it.

Then, this morning, I decided to make another one. The only thing I added was about a 1/2 bag of chopped pecans that I had left over from the pie I had made for Easter. While the bread was cooling, I went to the grocery store and did a few extra errands. When I came home, my son, his 2 sons and my husband were just finishing off the bread (even though it’s supposed to be refrigerated over night)! Didn’t even save me a crumb! Again, STILL NO PHOTO! Next time I’m going to make 2 and hide one of them!

I really want to share this recipe…it is SO good and really easy! Enjoy

Kitchen Tip:

For easier slicing, wrap bread and store overnight before slicing to serve.

Until Next Time!
