Bread for Fall Menus
When the weather turns cool my thoughts turn to baking and baking breads is one of my favorite fall activities. I have tried many recipes over the years and have combined different recipes to come up with tastes my husband and I enjoy.
Banana Bread
It seems like we always have bananas that have gotten a little too ripe and when we do I use them for banana bread.
- Tip: If I can't bake that day, I peel the bananas and put them in a freezer bag to freeze for later use. When I'm ready to use them I just sit them out for a few minutes and add them to the recipe.
I have tried many different recipes over the years and have combined several to come up with the recipe below, which is my favorite. The secret ingredient in this recipe is the sour cream, which helps to keep the bread moist and delicious.

I particularly like adding nuts to my banana bread, but I have found it is also delicious with chocolate chips and cranberries. Experiment with your favorite additions to create new taste sensations. I have also combined nuts and chocolate chips and that produces a delicious bread.
