I am not much of a cook, but here is my mother inlaws Banana Bread recipe, I like it cause it is simple enough for me to make lol, and my son loves it.

Banana Bread
1 cup sugar
3 bananas (mashed)
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder, ick did that once, unbelievably bad lol)
2 eggs

Mash bananas to a thin batter , add sugar & eggs -Beat well, then add butter, salt, soda, & flour. Bake in loaf pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour

You can also add chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor.

Three Things You Didn't Know About Me

This weeks Blog Hop theme is THREE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME . I hope you enjoy, leave comments. I will be around to leave you some love as well :) While you are here make sure to enter my contests at the right hand corner of the page.

1. I married my husband Dean on July 12, 2003 and am still happily married

2. I had my son Dodge on March 16, 2004. He was 10lbs 8 1/2 oz and 23 inches long. He was born after 8 hours of labour. I had him completely naturally with no drugs. The labour was not as bad as I had imagined, however the after pain was horrible. I went to a year of physio to correct the damage done to my pelvis and hips. I still have problems with my hips 5 years after.

3. My second son Zaxten was born Feb 17, 2009. He was 8lbs 13oz and was 21 inches long. I had him in less the 3 hours. I had no drugs except one breath of laughing gas, which I hated. The labour was extremely intense! But once he was born I felt great. My two labours were like night and day.
I am all done having babies now:(
