2. Cream butter and sugar together. Stop and scrap down sides and continue. See photo of what your product should look like. 
3. While mixer is running, add one egg at a time until mixed; repeat again with second egg.

5. Add Flour Mixture from bowl - one cup at a time.
6. Place banana batter into two loaf pans ( already sprayed with Pam)  and place in oven for 45 - 50  minutes. ( depending on your oven - use the toothpick test method - insert toothpick and it should come out reasonably dry)   
7. Bring out of oven and let set for five to ten minutes. Remove from pan and let rest (cool off) Remove my pans and let sit for ten minutes. Cut a couple of slices with a slab of butter - enjoy!

 The menu plan is Prime Rib, Roast Potatoes and Root Vegetables by Chef Bari 

Prime Rib Dinner

1. First –  ( The Day Before) Grocery List : 6 lb Prime Rib Roast ( 3 -4 ribs) / Red Potatoes / Carrots, turnips, white onion.( Alberta Beef is the best in the world – you can find the best choice and price meats at Costco in North America Alberta Beef is even shipped to Japan and rated number one in the world.)
2. Pre- heat oven to 350F.
3. Preparing Prime Rib or Roast Beef : Take a medium to large roasting pan that you would normally use for cooking Turkey.Add the Prime Rib to the roasting pan bone side down placing on top of a metal grate. ( If you don’t have a metal grate, you can do what we do in the hotels - we have always used tin foil. Make the tin foil into a two rings that will cover the bottom of your pan.) Place the Prime Rib evenly on top of the tin foil rings. Reason? So your Prime Rib will stay above the juices so it will not boil. Another term for Roasting is “Dry Heat Cooking Method”.
4. Season your Prime Rib or Roast with Rosemary, Salt, Black Pepper and Garlic Powder or Garlic Salt. You can also buy the fresh herbs if you like.Rub in the seasoning and herbs into the Prime Rib
5. Place into the oven and cook Prime Rib beef for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for medium-rare (approx.15 – 20 minutes per pound).Check the internal temperature of the roast in several places with an instant-read thermometer; it should register 140 degrees F for medium-rare. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving - very important!  This way, your Prime Rib will remain juicy. 
6. One hour before the Prime Rib or Roast is ready – have pre-cut root vegetables (such as Carrots, turnips, onions and celery) medium rough cut. Place around the roast. Again – do not cover pan.
7. When the Prime Rib Roast is ready, take out and let rest for 15-20 minutes on a cutting board.
8. How to make Roast Potatoes: You also pre-heat oven at 350F – if you are cooking with a Roast – place into oven one hour before roast is ready.
9. Take some red skin potatoes and cut into fours. When deciding how many do you cook Chef’s use a formal (that is another topic) or you can say 1 1/2 potatoes per person.Ingredients: Olive Oil – 1/4 cup, 1 tablespoon of Paprika, 1 teaspoon of Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and white pepper (use black pepper if you like) Mix all together in medium bowl.Add your quartered potatoes to this mixture. Mix with clean washed hands – well mixed.
10. Place on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for one hour.
