I love your idea for a blog--and all the old recipes. I have an awful lot of old cookbooks and sometimes dig back into them for inspiration for my own cooking and my blog (ruthtalksfood.substack.com). I love baking banana bread; I think my first recipe was probably from Fanny Farmer, but my current favorite is King Arthur's whole-grain version.
Thanks, Jolene! I’ll be posting again soon. I love your latest on blueberry squares! I agree that the older recipes are simpler and often better, though I’m with you in subbing butter for shortening!
Morning, noon and night, 'Nana Bread always works. Adding sour cream to anything is never a bad idea, but I can only how much it would enhance Banana Bread! On a personal note, I prefer without nuts. But it really is a perfect "go to". With coffee, tea or milk it always hits the spot!! Can I tell ya?...it's yummy with a dessert wine...
Jolene! I have that cookbook, too! It was my grandmother's, and I've kept it around for decor. But I've never actually tried any of the recipes. I definitely should. Thank you for this post!
That’s so cool, Starr! Yes, definitely, you have to tweak the recipes a bit, but I gotta tell ya, that Banana Bread is now one of my favorites. Keep me posted on what you’re baking and I’ll peek at the recipe too!
I'm so excited to try this. I LOVE banana bread! Will also substitute flax seed and butter. And I can't get sour cream here in Greece, but I do have yogurt, so will use that. Thanks as always for the history tidbits.

I love it too! I’ve gotta try it with dessert wine. Thanks, Var!

I just love the aluminum casing on the cookbook! (And the banana bread sounds yummy, too!)
I love it too! I want all my cookbooks in cases now 😂

Hi, Ellen! Greek yogurt would be perfect. Also, if you buy whole flaxseeds grind them up (or buy flax meal) Hope you’re well! 🤗
Yum.
Yes!
