One of our favorite cakes in our family is banana bread. It's especially one of my favorites because of how easy it is and it's almost fool proof. Maybe Iv'e just made it so many times that it seems that way, but if my two-year-old can get her hands in it and still come out this good, it has to be easy. Lately she has been wanting to help out in the kitchen and is always ready with her stool. Makes it a little tough to do my job but she is so eager to help, how can I resist these teachable moments? It's just not in my nature. Of course I helped with the mixing, but in the end I had a pretty nice mess to clean after we were done :)
The hardest part was keeping her from eating the marshmallows and white chocolate morsels by the handfull.
