Why I chose this recipe:
Almost eighteen years ago I married my husband, John. As they say you marry the family as well. As it turned out, I totally lucked out. One of my favorite in-laws is my husband’s second eldest sister, Eileen. She and I have lots in common, but one of our similarities is our love of cooking and baking.
Over the years my family has always loved her goodies, particularly her banana bread. I thought I would put my own twist on her recipe by adding fresh blueberries. It is absolutely the perfect breakfast bread. Served with a side of fruit salad and any morning it will be easy to .
