     I always have fresh bananas on hand.  I like them sliced over Greek yogurt and granola with dried fruit.  My daughter throws a banana into the blender every time she makes a smoothie.  And my French Bulldog, Pipi... well, she'll take them any way she can get them.  And during the warm summer months, bananas in my kitchen ripen faster than any other time of year... time to make MUFFINS!
