30 Day LJ Meme: Day 7
Day 7: my favorite recipe.
I am posting this as my favorite recipe because it is the one I use the most often. I make banana bread pretty regularly, usually with chocolate chips, but sometimes mixing in other things instead. The last time I made it (last week), I put in blueberries. It was good. :)

*This tends not to be enough time for my bread to be done completely in the middle, so it usually takes about 50 minutes total after removing the foil, maybe 55.
