I remember the day my husband accepted a job transfer from NY to Ohio. It was a
10 hour drive as we left family and the only town we had lived in behind. It was this chapter in Ohio that all of us grew leaps and bounds. As hard as it was to leave family, we made fast friends with our neighbors, and other families through the community. Many of us were new to Ohio so we gravitated to one another. Some were locals that had lived in the community most of their lives, but we all came together as we joined the PTO group. Many of us remain friends today! It was during this time frame that our PTO sponsored the sale of this special cookbook where we all submitted our favorite recipes to share.
This cookbook dated 1991, with tattered pages, and broken red spiral rings, holds my family's favorite Banana Bread recipe and so many memories! I never had the pleasure of meeting the lady that submitted the recipe, but I sure am glad that she did!
The "FAN"-TASTIC Favorites of Jonathan Wright Elementary School will always be dear to me.
Here is the famous "Banana Nut Bread" recipe!
Banana Nut Bread
