Today is National Banana Bread Day. This is the perfect day to post Kate's Banana Bread recipe. Ever since we were freshman in college, Mrs. Clarisey (my best friend Lolly's mom), would send us loaves of banana bread. It was always a joy to open the fridge to find her delectable and healthy banana bread with package of cream cheese awaiting our hungry belly's.
