I came across an old pre-school class recipe handout from my youngest son’s pre-school class (back in the early 90’s!). My contribution was this recipe for Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, which, according to my comment was his favorite food besides mac and cheese. I thought it was time to whip up a loaf and see what I thought 20+ years later!
