My favorite part of baking with my Mom and Nana, was after everything was all cleaned up and the goodies were still in the oven. We’d sit at the kitchen table, with cups of tea or coffee (in my case a glass of milk) and they would tell stories or just chat about life. Oh how I miss those days!

My Nana passed away about 15 years ago now and there isn’t much I wouldn’t give to be able to sit at that table with the tow of them again chatting about life and just spending some quality time together.

These days I whip up a batch of this Molasses Walnut Banana Bread to enjoy and think of my Nana and all those good memories we shared.

Do you have a recipe that brings back memories and make miss certain people?

    So yummy. I love how food can mean so much more than calories. I have some family favorites too, and always feel like I’m feeding my soul as much as my stomach when I make things that have been passed down for generations.
