In response to your request for a banana bread recipe, this is one that my mom used to make, and it's really good: Banana Bread Makes two large breads, or one large and three small breads. 1 cup margarine 1 tsp. salt 2 cups sugar 3 1/2 cups flour 2 tsp. vanilla 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. lemon juice 2 tsp. baking powder 4 eggs 1 cup sour cream 2 cups mashed bananas 1 cup chopped nuts Cream margarine and sugar; add vanilla and lemon juice. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift salt, flour, baking soda, and baking powder; add alternately with sour cream to banana mixture. Fold in nuts. Pour into greased loaf pans. Bake 350 degrees, 50-55 minutes. Here's another recipe, this one for zucchini bread. My husband makes this one whenever he can, and it's really good, too (the recipe is on a pretty beat up sheet of paper, and I have no idea where he got it). Zucchini Bread Makes two large breads. 4 eggs, beaten 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 cups sugar 3/4 tsp. baking powder 1 cup vegetable oil 2 cups grated zucchini, carrots, and walnuts 3 1/2 cups flour 1 cup raisins 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. salt Mix eggs, sugar, and oil in a large bowl. Combine dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients alternately with the grated zucchini. Stir in raisins and vanilla. Pour into two greased and lightly floured loaf pans. Bake at 300 degrees, 55 minutes (test with toothpick). Enjoy! Cory Lewkowicz
