When Life Gives You Bananas

...make banana bread!

My parents buy an entire case of bananas each week, which results in a lot of banana bread.

Over the weekend, I baked this beautiful mound of banana bread for my dad. It's a yummy whole wheat version. I also made a second batch in a muffin tin for my grandpa. Both were a hit!
