the best banana bread ever.

Today I baked one of my favorite recipes -- the banana bread from The Lion House. You guys, it's SO good! I usually have to make two loaves because it disappears so quickly! 

½ cup butter 
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped nuts

Optional:
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cloves
¼ teaspoon nutmug

Mix together the wet ingredients. Sift in the dry ingredients. Pour into greased bread pan. Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes.

Hey Sera, Sera -- you are a domestic goddess! Your banana bread looks, tastes and smells amaaazing. I love it when you come home and bake for us. It was fun watching "Hitch" with you tonight -- love that Will Smith!

I want to see Hitch! I've never seen it all the way through. Oh and... did you save me any banana bread? I know it's totally my own fault I couldn't wait around for it to come out of the oven the other day, but I still would love some! I hope your sad mouth is feeling happier! Love you! Oh and your antique looking pics are SO awesome!
