Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mama's out there! Really just one day of appreciation is not enough compared to what you do for us. Today's weather was great! The skies were blue and the sun was shining just for the occasion.

I made banana bread for all the mom's in my family. It's just a little sweet something to say thank you, you are amazing. The recipe is very moist and delicious. It's a simple straight forward classic banana bread recipe that should be a staple in your kitchen.
