Banana Bread

I will be the first to say my cooking isn't always the best. I struggle with scrambled eggs but can cook mean home-made fajitas or stir fry. Bread wasn't even a question for me. I didn't want to waste the ingredients nor the time. But, I gave it a shot anyway and turns out I can bake mean banana bread! I am really surprised and proud of myself. I even shipped some off to my hunny. Hopefully it won't be hard or bad by the time it get's there. I have listed the recipe below. Enjoy!

- 1 stick (8 t) butter at room temp
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour (all purpose)
- 1 t baking soda
- 1/2 t salt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
