Banana Bread

• ½ cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 or 3 ripe bananas
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup nuts

Mix shortening and sugar until creamy. Add beaten eggs. Mash bananas and add them to mixture, also the nuts. (Kirk will not eat anything with nuts in it).

Sift the flour several times with the salt and soda, add to mixture. Bake in a well greased & floured pan in moderate over (350°) until done. Turn out of pan and cool on rack.

This is about the easiest & best recipe I have tried, but banana bread isn't one of my favorites. Most of the family likes it.
