Best Banana Bread....Ever

When I was younger, my mom owned a hair salon and worked 90% of her time. So 90% of my time was spend with my grandma. She is the most amazing cook I know. Everything is from scratch. Since she grew up with parents who owned Barret's Bakery, you know she was an even better baker. Her banana bread recipe is not only easy, but SO good! But since I cant give out her exact secret recipe, I will give you my spin... Dont worry- Iv baked it plenty of times before. Everyone loved it and only few have died.
2 cups sifted flour (half white/half wheat)
2 eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup margarine (room temperature)
1 tsp baking soda
3 ripe bananas mashed
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup suger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Cream margarine, vanilla, nutmeg, and sugar in medium bowl. Add in eggs. In separate bowl, mix dry ingrediants. Add cream mix to dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Add mashed bananas. 

Pour mix into greased loaf pan and sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60mins or until the bread doesn't wiggle. 

What food makes you think of being a kid again? Did anyone in your family pass a recipe down from one generation to another?
