I always keep bananas in my house.  Fresh slices in a bowl of cereal, on top of yogurt, with peanut butter… or even straight from the peel… bananas are delicious and super healthy with loads of potassium and vitamins.  But what do you do when it gets to be the end of the week, and you have leftover bananas that are a bit overly ripe and past their prime?  Well you can always make banana bread, or you can whip up one of the fabulous home remedies!
