A few months ago, my friend Monet faced tough times. The loss of loved ones dear to her heart. Although the pain is still greatly felt, she has many friends who care deeply for her. Together some of her blog buddies created a book of recipes, as a way to send love to Monet, who among a great many things is a beautiful baker and writer. Please do visit Monet at Anecdotes and Apple Cores, and send your healing love.
Today, we are all sharing our contributed recipes.

Thank you for sharing the beauty of your soul!

Soulful Banana Bread
There is something so incredibly comforting about banana bread. Maybe it is the use of fruit that nourishes the body and our soul. Or maybe it is the delightful aroma of cinnamon and vanilla that swirl together to heighten our senses and induce calm. It could be that there is nothing more comforting than breaking bread and sharing it with a cherished friend. Here, my friend is the recipe for Soulful Banana Bread. Each and every morsel contains love, and comfort from me to you! ?
