Why Aren't You Interested in my Blog?: banana bread

Today is day seven of being snowed in. Well, I was able to make it to the store on Tuesday, but besides that I haven't seen civilization in a week! The other day while I was wandering around the kitchen, snacking and taking a break from work, I noticed our bananas were getting to the point where neither myself nor Ben would eat them, well I probably would've, but I decided I would much rather make some banana bread. So I found a simple recipe that only required 3 bananas (luckily I had one in the freezer)! I just added a random amount of chocolate chips to the recipe so use your own judgment on that ingredient. And because Ben and I are newly living together, we don't have all the cooking goodies one needs... so we improvised with cake flour and a random sized baking dish! It still came out delicious and I know this b/c it's already almost gone after just 3 days of being made! :)

I found this recipe via Google... what would we do without it?
