Banana Nut Bread

Who knew I would become a bread maker? Well after making one bread and one pizza dough I will claim the title of bread maker.

But as I was making this banana nut bread the thought of the scene in Beauty in the Beast (my all time favorite Disney movie) where Belle is strolling through the village and starts singing Little Town and says “There goes the baker with his tray like always, the same old bread and rolls to sell”…I know you are impressed with my knowledge of Disney songs, don’t worry I won’t start singing A Whole New World, Daddy.

But back the to the bread. This was such a hit with our friends during a football party! If you put it in an airtight container it can last in the fridge for up to two weeks.
