Jamaican Banana Bread?

[KateEden]

Help! I've just moved & have yet to find my recipes. One of my favorites is the Jamaican Banana Bread from Mar. 97 issue, also April 2000 issue. Does anyone have it that can post it for me? I would REALLY appreciate it! Also, for anyone who has not tried it- it is GREAT!
