Easy Banana Bread

So, as every college student knows surviving on your own can be a struggle. For those who don't live off of dining hall food… or really anyone who has to buy their own groceries and feed themselves understands that its hard work to plan your meals. You have to make sure you take into consideration your budget, ability to cook, and for some you have to consider eating healthy. So, thanks to my friend Alex and her fabulous kid cookbook... I've tested out the perfect (for anyone) recipe for banana bread!

The Ingredients:
