Grandma's Banana Bread

So many memories can be tied to food. I remember when we were kids and would visit NJ, there were certain places that we always had to eat. One memory I have growing up is my grandma's banana bread. She used to make the best baked goods from scratch and mail them to us. One of things I loved was her banana bread!
Ingredients:
8 tablespoons shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup walnuts
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cream Shortening; add sugar, eggs, and beat well
- Mix in bananas, nuts, and dry ingredients
- Bake in greased floured load pan at 300 degrees for 60 minutes

Crab Legs!

During the summer, there is nothing like enjoying one of my seafood favorites at home. If you want to enjoy crab legs just follow the steps below:
1. You can often find crab legs on sale in your local grocery store.
2. Buy a bag of frozen crab legs
3. Boil a large pot of water. Add seasoning, I like to use Season-All.
4. When the water is at a fast boil add the legs and lower heat.
5. Simmer the crab legs for 5-7 minutes.
6. Melt some butter, Crack, dip and enjoy!
