Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Back from the gym (hopefully will be able to walk tomorrow..), popped this in the oven because I've been craving it, and getting ready for my day! I'm seeing the movie Crazy Stupid Love (comes out today) and getting lunch with a friend before I host my mom's birthday dinner tonight~! I made that yummy lemon chicken orzo that I raved about a few posts ago.  Angel food cake and strawberries for dessert- yum!
