So we tend to buy 2-3 more bananas/week than we actually eat because we think we're healthier than we apparently are. So around day 6 they start getting a little funky but I don't want to toss them, bananas are cheap but I wouldn't throw a quarter in the garbage would I? Probably not.
So I've been scouring allrecipes.com for various bread recipes, today I think I found a winner.
So far I've tried this one: Best Banana Bread and this one: Banana Bread IV. They were both a little meh. Nothing terribly awesome. Today I tried this recipe: Janet's Rich Banana Bread and it looks like a winner. I haven't actually tasted it yet because I had to pull it out of the oven and rush off to work but it smelled awesome. I didn't have any walnuts so I substituted chocolate, I figure it's an even trade :)
What's your favorite way to use leftover produce?

I tend to turn leftover fruit into muffins or bread. As for veggies, I try to make veggie soup or stir fry. If you don't have the ingredients for a soup, throw the veggies in some water in the crock pot or slow cooker and let them cook down into some nice vegetable stock you can freeze for a later soup. As I've mentioned before, I HATE wasting things, especially food. This is a good way to make sure things get used and don't go to waste! :D
