Banana Nut Bread

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
2 tsp. vanilla
1 T. milk
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 c. nuts (optional)
4 mashed bananas

Cream shortening and sugar. Add bananas, eggs, vanilla & Milk. Beat well. Add dry ingredients and nuts. Mix until creamy. Bake at 350 for 1 Hour in a greased and floured loaf pan. Makes one large loaf.

(I always double mine and it makes 3 medium-large sized loaves.... I never use nuts)

This is a recipe that I got from Glen's mom, who I believe got it from her mom. It is the only banana bread I ever make! It freezes really well too.
