Behold, the sad sight of a brown banana. The last piece of fruit in the bowl. Make way for new apples and grapefruit Mr. Banana you are headed straight to the dumpster!
Or maybe not! With butter and sugar yesterdays trash becomes today's breakfast treat! (Wow, that sounds SO unappetizing!) But seriously, isn't it incredible how something as disgusting as an over ripe banana can become utterly irresistible given the right amount of butter, sugar and baking? So what are your favorite second run treats? Do dish!

Thank YOU Ms. Myers for the lovely serving suggestion.
Ive had this trashy treat, and it is quite delicious!! Especially after a late night of Dr. MArio!
Wait a minute. You're forgetting the most important ingredient: Love!
I gag if there's no love in my banana bread.
At wendy's, they use the day old burgers and make the chili out of it. Sounds pretty nast, but it's pretty good chili and eliminates waste. Celebrate!
