DIVINE BANANA BREAD W/WALNUTS and CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
"I'M GOING BANANA'S FOR BANANA BREAD!!! This is a KEEPER recipe; once you try it you can't get enough!!! Bananas do grow in Italy but it's the walnuts in this recipe atop the banana bread that inspired me. I also have a WALNUT TREE in my front yard. This first class banana bread demands cream cheese; and you will find it in the Maple Cheese Glaze. In Italy the harvesting of walnuts in the fall generates as much excitement among the Italians as the hunt for wild porcini mushrooms!! Next to pine nuts and hazelnuts, walnuts have a special place in the Italian Cucina. The roots of my heritage is Italy and that is my dream destination...."
