Banana Muffins
Williams Sonoma is one of my favorite sources for yummy recipes that always work. This one I have been making since we opened our Bed and Breakfast almost 14 years ago.

Sunrise Landing Date Nut Bread Recipe
Date Nut Bread
This recipe is an original family favorite. It was given to Barb by Bob's Aunt Kate (Easter) when Bob and Barb were first married. It is a regular at all of the households in the Schiesser extended family at Christmas. It can be made without nuts for those who have nut allergies, and it is still rich and delicious. Guests at Sunrise Landing B & B love it!
