Banana Nut Bread

Oh this is so good.  I hate/despise bananas.  I can't remember the last time I ate one of those disgusting thing.  But good moist banana bread, mm mm heaven.  I love a slice of good banana bread.  I have been trying to make a loaf of bread a week.  The last few weeks we have had pumpkin bread and so today I wanted to change it up.  I made some really good banana bread.  I love the smell of baked goods in the oven.   I found this recipe in an old family recipe cook book.  The name of it is Burridge Porridge.  This cook book is about 6 years older than me.  The person that donated the recipe is Dorothy Murphy.

1/2 cup shortening ( I don't ever use shortening so I replaced it with butter)
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas ( I used 4 bananas )
1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix it all together and bake at 375 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes.
My bread took 40 minutes to bake but I kept checking it every 3 minutes after 25 minutes were up.
