She would have been 101 on Thursday—can you believe that?—so I thought I would try and channel some of her baking prowess by attempting one of her best-loved recipes.
I didn't make it exactly like Grandma would have. I used a microwave to soften the butter. I used my Kitchen-Aid to mix it all together. Plus, at 6:15 a.m. I'm sure she would have already been up for 2 hours and have moved on to other chores by then. But with the cool breeze blowing in the windows, the birds singing outside, a quiet house with Diggs and the dogs still snoozing, I couldn't help but wonder, "I bet this is the way Grandma Faye would have spent an early autumn morning."
The aroma of banana bread finally woke Diggs up. Although it was a little on the dry side (any ideas on why, Crough fam?) I was so proud of my morning accomplishment, I had to call Mom and let her know that her grandmother's legacy lives on...and smells delicious.
