With National Banana Bread Day coming up soon, I’ve been seriously craving some warm fresh-from-the-oven banana bread. I plan on baking up a couple batches this week.

Now I have a confession. I don’t make banana bread very often. You see, in my family, my dad is the family’s banana bread expert. It’s his specialty. He has been for as long as I can remember. And now that his name has affectionately changed from Dad to Papa, we’ve all taken to calling it “Papa Bread.” Everyone looks forward to when he pulls out his loaf pans and starts to peel those ripe bananas. The smell of a fresh baked loaf of Papa’s banana bread coming out of the oven is one of the most comforting fragrances I can think of. We devour it before it ever gets a chance to cool, so he always makes several loaves at a time. Some are the classic recipe, some have walnuts or pecans, some are rich and chocolatey, and some have creamy peanut butter spread over the top. All are sooooo good!

And here’s another confession. I’ve been known to make sure there are just enough bananas sitting out on my counter when he comes over to visit. But for this week, I’ll be the one wearing the apron.
