Katie's Banana Bread

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 c. nuts (opt.)
1 c. choc. chips (opt.)
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda

*Mix all together and pour into loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 min.
*For Hawaiian bread don't use chocolate chips. Instead, add 1 mix dry vanilla pudding & 1 can drained pineapples that you've blended in a blender. Add extra flour to make the dough thick like it was before you added the pineapples.
