Super easy and good! I threw in a handful of walnuts. I hate to admit it but I ate 1/2 of the bread. I always have to cook my bread longer b/c the center is still gooey. This has happened with every banana bread I have made. Any helpful hints Grace at Sweet Grace's for the bread to cook evenly?

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
