Day 11 - Chicken Pillows, Broccoli, Fruit Salad and the Best Banana Bread in the World!

Lynette Thomas' Banana Bread
**this recipe has never let me down!

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups bananas, mashed (about 3)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or add 1 Tbsp. vinegar to 1 cup milk and let stand for 10 minutes - remember to only use 1/2 cup of it!)
3/4 cup chopped nuts (I don't usually add the nuts)

Cream together ingredients in order listed above. Add flour slowly until combined.

Grease and flour or use PAM spray to prepare cooking pans.

Pan size: makes 2 (8" x 3-3/4") loaf pans (fill pans 2/3 of way)

Bake 325 for about 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. (I baked mine for 1 hour and 10 minutes this time). If making muffins, check after 30 minutes instead.
