Yummy Banana Bread

I love banana bread.  I don't make it very often because I can't keep bananas around long enough.
Here is the recipe:

Banana Bread
3/4 c shortening
1 1/2 c sugar
3 eggs
1/2 c chopped walnuts (If desired)
4-8 mashed bananas
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 c flour

Mix the first 3 ingredients together.  Then add the bananas.  Mix well.  Then add remaining ingredients.  Makes 2 loaves
