Davises' Secret Banana Nut Bread
From Barbara and Al Davis
Al Davis might be a retired naval officer, but he and his wife Barbara still serve their country. They adapted an old, secret family recipe for Banana Nut Bread and baked it for the troops during the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Since then they have baked over 14,000 loaves and are still baking.
