I was getting ready to leave for Mexico for a family vacation and decided to clean out the refrigerator as much as I could. When I saw a couple of blackened bananas, I knew it was banana bread time. But then from the back of the fridge . . . the strawberries and cheesecake filling whimpered, wanting to join the fun. So glad they spoke up!
