Besides
the chorizo strata, we also made this new recipe for Emily's aunts and uncles - banana-pecan bread.

This is the third recipe that we've tried from Emily's cousins. The first two -
Celina's coffee cake and
Tessa's zucchini bread - were big successes, and we expect nothing less from Sophia's banana-pecan bread.

How could it not be though? Look at the tasty ingredients.
There are chopped pecans.

And ripe bananas.

And those two ingredients are delicious no matter how they're prepared. But look at this bread!

This thing was delicious. We're big fans of all sweet breakfasty breads, we're big fans of bananas and pecans, and this was the perfect combination of all of the above.
