Author Notes
I spent many afternoons and evenings with my dear friend and fellow Food52er inpatskitchen watching her mother cook and learning from her. One of my favorites was her Banana Bread. I have tinkered with her recipe (I don't think she would mind) making it with whole wheat flour and chocolate chips. My tinker has become my granddaughters and her entire swim teams favorite. It has been requested for the upcoming conference swim meet. I made several loaves today and put them in the freezer. They will be my gift to the EK Swim and Dive Team this week. —GiGi26
