When you have over ripe bananas it’s time to bake banana bread! Three bananas after I mashed them up was a little over a cup which is what the recipe calls for. This past August I made banana bread but I decided to try something different, I added yogurt instead of butter! I also like to add chocolate chips at times and this batch with the yogurt was so moist! The recipes made a 9×12 loaf pan with enough batter left for two mini loaves! I had been living on

For today’s Friday Story Time by Lia I’m sharing the results of my 2023 Lia’s Sunshine Bakery Alzheimer’s Fundraiser totals. South Carolina Stats (Note from Ma) The South Carolina Chapter raised $190,000 thanks to all the great people who donated to the 2023 fundraiser.

The colorful blooms last all summer and another unique feature of this tree is when it matures, it sheds the bark giving the tree a very unique look.
