Notes: Wait. . . why is my recipe in Aunt Irma's cook book? Did Aunt Irma make this recipe? No, she didn't. But, from the time she became sick, getting Aunt Irma to eat ANYTHING was a real challenge. The docs kept telling her that it was important that she eat -- especially protein. So I baked banana bread for her -- and she would usually eat it. My secret: Protein powder. I added a substantial amount of protein powder (up to a cup) to the banana bread. It didn't change the taste, and we were able to at least get a bit of protein into Aunt Irma.
