Our Little Chef

We try to give the girls an appre­ci­a­tion for food by involv­ing them in the process of cook­ing and our youngest — Cameron — seems to have taken an interest. Her favorite recipe is Banana Bread and she can “almost” cook it her­self. We have often been asked for the recipe and I am now will­ing to share the fam­ily secret! The trick is to use larger bananas– it keeps the cake moist.

Hartshorn Banana Bread

• 1 & 1/​2 cups flour
• 1 tea­spoon bak­ing soda
• 1 tea­spoon salt
• 1/​3 cup veg­etable oil
• 3/​4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 ripe bananas mashed
• 1/​2 cup wal­nuts chopped

Mix together and spoon into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake in a pre heated oven at 350 degrees for one hour. Cool, slice and eat.…It’s that simple!
