Recipe Review

Banana Pudding
Southern Living magazine

Ah, one of R's favorites. Banana pudding is one of those desserts that the hubby constantly bugs me over, "When are you going to make me banana pudding?" "Mmmmm, sure would love some banana pudding right about now." Okay, R. Roger. Got it. Noted.

Southern Living must have recognized hubbies' summer needs and included this recipe in a recent magazine. Also met the wives intent with keep it light. Thank you, Southern Living.

I began by making the pudding.


Then you just layer the sliced bananas, (light) vanilla waffers and pudding a few times.

Top is off with some stiffened egg whites.


And bake!


Doesn't it look beautiful?

Then this....

The recipe doesn't say anything about cooling in the fridge. Just says to let it sit for about 30 minutes. I did put it in the fridge for about an hour, but as soon as we sliced into it, the 'pudding' just ran everywhere. What a mess. So we put it back in the fridge and let it sit over night. Clearly the key! Was much better the next day. The taste was totally there, so I will not be discouraged.

Girl likeability - 4
Boy likeability - 4 (the next day)
Ease of preparation - 3.5

Avg 3.8. Cafeteria-style. Totally like momma's cookin', although hers would've turned out much better than mine. Large quantities; great for a family Sunday dinner.
