It's a baking kind of day today. So I pulled out my book of favorites in search of something to fulfill my sweet tooth but that McKinley could sink her "teeth" into as well..
And up came one of my favorites - banana bread! This recipe is filled with gobs of healhthful components and is melt in your mouth delicious. So we set to work.
