Have you ever struggled with choosing a perfect dessert when making dinner for your friends? That’d be me yesterday.

38 Loaded banana loaf
I don’t know about you but I always end up buying too many bananas. You know that bananas are only good when fresh, not soft and spotty like a leopard. When it first happened I though: I don’t want to waste them so I came up with a plan of making a banana loaf with…
