Banana Bread

This is a big family favorite.  We served this banana bread at

Katie's wedding reception.  I'm sure it tasted even better

because of the beautiful way it was displayed.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix well:
3 well ripended bananas, crushed
½ cup shortening
1 cup sugar

Add:
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. soda
½ cup broken nuts
Mix well and pour into greased loaf pan.

Bake 1 hour or until knife inserted comes out clean.
