Good morning Gorgeous Gems,

The first thing I (Monica) learned to make in the kitchen was banana bread while living with my roommate. She and I would bake it in the evening while zipping wine to have it in the morning. A couple of times we drank a little too much, and well you know.

Only this time I cheated I bought the already made mix from Trader Joe’s. I figured if my husband didn’t notice the difference then it was a go.

The recipe didn’t call for a ripe banana, but I added one to give it a try, next time I am adding walnuts.

Trust me you won’t be disappointed with the Trade Joe’s mix, I would not settle for any less, it was tremendously moist. I love banana bread it is literally one of my favorite things to eat.

I hope you give it a try!
