Bananas, Bananas, and Bananas!!!

I went bananas at the store :)  I went to Harris Teeter to get the eggs that were on special but on the way there, I found the large clearance section of produce.  They had tons of bananas!!!  There was one bag that was still $1.00 per pound- that is not a good clearance price.  Then there were four more bags at $0.34 per pound.  I was a little tempted but the bags were really big so they were still near $2 per bag.  Then I got to the bottom shelf and there was a bag with 9 bananas for $0.81 total (also known as $0.20 per pound). 

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make 3 loaves of banana bread!!!  So it followed me for for a total of $0.83 with tax and my first purchase of the new month :)

While I was out buying these new bananas, I had two on the counter getting brown waiting for a loaf of banana bread.  Sadly, my recipe uses three bananas so I was starting to think that I was either going to freeze the ones that I had or find a new recipe to try out.  Great news- my cousin had two bananas going bad on her counter too!!!!  I stole her bananas and made us some banana bread :)  Okay, I did give her the little loaf to take home with her.  YUM!!!  I can't wait for breakfast now :)

Isn't winter supposed to be the season for banana bread?  Why does this sound the best thing to eat for the summer too. 

Thanks to my cousin, I have a bag of six frozen bananas waiting for the next time I have to make banana bread and I don't have any bad bananas.  We might be neck deep in banana bread for a long time so make sure you come for a visit and get a taste of this yummy bread.  If you can't visit, feel free to make your own with the recipe from my previous post here.
