I’ve been so busy getting ready for my dance show that I’ve barely had time to bake! My show is next week, and I couldn’t be any more excited. My dance looks so great already, and I can’t wait to have it from an audience.

Anyway, I wanted to make banana bread but as usual I wanted to mix up the standard recipe. Usually I try to make banana bread with really overripe bananas, but the ones I had weren’t quite ripe enough. Instead of waiting around, I decided to add in the pineapple to add some extra sweetness to the bread. It turned out great!
