This is a very moist banana bread with lots of banana flavor. There is a bit of spice for those who like a bit of "extra" in their banana bread. This recipe still has a big banana flavor with scrumptious spicy notes to make it really special.

"CranCrack" Cranberry Salad
This was my mothers recipe, and named by my son because it is so addictive. By replacing the Jell-O® with sugar-free Jello-O®, using no-sugar-added pineapple, and your choice of sugar substitute, this turns into a reduced-carb recipe. If you don't have a grinder, use a blender and water to grind the cranberries, then drain.
