Banana bread - quick and easy right? Wrong.

Over the last four weeks, I’ve made this bread five times. I have become the quick bread king. My family has basically stopped eating bananas because they know as soon as those things start turning brown, they’re magically turning into sweet, sweet bread. After a lot of trial and error, I’ve finally got it dialed in.

It feels great to have my own recipe that I’ve invested a lot of time working on. I’d love for my future grand kids to be able to say “this was my grandpas recipe.” Seems like a cool thing to say.

PS. I wrote this up outside of my daughter’s dance competition on a pink towel while doing my daily squats.
