Banana Bread

Cream together
1 cup butter 
1 1/2 cups brown sugar 
4 eggs  
24 oz overripe bananas  (4 2/3 cups)

Add
4 cups all-purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt 


mix until  well combined

Pour batter into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake 50 min at 350ºF

Garlic Bread

2 loaves Italian Bread
2 sticks butter or margarine, soft
garlic powder to taste
aluminum foil (I prefer the wide heavy duty stuff)

Stir garlic powder into margarine.
Slice Bread
Butter each slice on both sides (although you can skimp and do only one side)
Reform the loaf onto a sheet of foil, seal the loaf in the foil.

Bake at 350 for 20-30 mins until center of loaf is heated through.

This is a recipe you want to use margarine that doesn't list water as it's first ingredient.
