Homemade Banana Bread
I am sure this never happens to any of you, but sometimes I buy things at the store, with the best intentions, but then life happens and at the end of the week here I have an entire bunch of bananas sitting on my counter, ripe as ripe can be.  Some of you would say "cut your losses and throw …
