When I was 11 I went a full month only eating brownies and oranges. This was also the year I stopped growing – maybe not entirely coincidence.

Animal crackers and skim milk were my go-to after-school snacks. If my mom baked something, I didn’t think about what was in it, I was just happy someone was baking for me at all. So when fresh-from-the-oven banana bread was presented to me, you better bet it was getting in my belly….
