I absolutely love bananas and anything that has bananas in it! About 4 months into this pregnancy Trey asked me if I craved bananas. I was curious as to why he thought this and he pointed out that every time I go to the grocery store I buy not one but two bundles of bananas (the biggest bundles there) and almost every pin on my pinterest recipe board was related in some way to bananas. So, I guess I have craved bananas this pregnancy and banana pudding is by far top on the list!
As a kid I remember my grandmother making the best banana pudding. I seriously have never found any in my life that come close to comparing to hers. I think this is why I have always been scared to even attempt making one. That is until Trey told me that he had never had a home made banana pudding. This is just sad to me that he thought all banana pudding was the instant Jello box so I had to introduce him to the real world of banana pudding! I am by no means saying that I have met the bar that my grandmother set but I am pretty pleased with the result. Be sure and follow the "cook slowly" step exactly... I usually don't set my stove top about the lowest heat while stirring and it takes me about 18 - 20 minutes to stir it to a thickness perfect for the pudding. This is SO easy and only takes a few ingredients. Check out the recipe below and tell me what you think.
Banana Pudding
Ok we love us banana pudding around here so I may have to try this (nervous about judging time on the stirring part though)
ReplyDeletePs your last post was precious!
Love the blog, Katie! I so prefer blogs over FB. I'll add yours to my reader. I have one at progressperfection.blogspot.com. Emma is getting so big!! And when did you make the switch to staying at home? I'm sure that has a good story behind it. So happy for you guys. Can't wait to hear about the new little one. Take care! Sarah
ReplyDeleteI started staying at home in October. Emma has been so sick and then got put in the hospital for a staph infection that just lowered her immune system even more. Within one day of being back at daycare she was sick again. It was just such a struggle to try to be a working mom and take care of my sick little girl. I absolutely love staying at home! It is great to get the be the one to love on her, teach her, and discipline her all day every day!
