Spring Time means time for Banana Pudding

This post if for Amber SanFilippo along with my other wonderful southern bridesmaids! 

The past few weeks have been hectic. I have stuck to my treadmill/Hip Hop Abs routine each day until last week- for some reason I got off track... Still watched what I ate and didn't pig out but workout time took a hiatus compared to the rest of my priorities. So this week I'm getting back on track!
I did get to work at Relay for Life this past weekend and got to attend a fabulous Tri Sigma Founder's Day Celebration. Eventful...but super exhausting!

I am pumped about my weekend coming up since I will have the opportunity on Friday to travel with our students for a round-trip adventure to Disneyland in California! I am beyond excited to go with some of our students on this trip and plus the trip and parks are a bonus! I do feel bad leaving David here but I know he will find someone to do to pass the time without me.

Tonight was our Poly monthly potluck at my house and I made Amber's famous beef enchiladas and they were a huge hit! Everyone should try her recipe- which I will share upon request. It is super easy and inexpensive. So for this week, I will be sharing, for Amber, my grandma's amazing banana pudding recipe! You will want to try this and share it with friends...it is the best pudding I've ever eaten!! Check it out and happy cooking!!

Banana Pudding

3 cups of Sugar

Pinch of Salt

5 Bananas 
1 box of Vanilla Wafers

Mix sugar, eggs, salt, butter, vanilla, and corn starch together in a boiler and beat with a mixer until smooth.
Stir milk into mixture and bring to a boil.
Stir continuously until thick.
In a baking dish, slice bananas and sprinkle with whole vanilla wafers until covered.
Pour pudding mixture over bananas and wafers.
Line wafers around edges of baking dish.
Crush about 5 wafers and sprinkle over the top of the pudding as garnish.

Enjoy!





My Grandmomma's 1992 Kentucky Derby Hat when Lil E. Tee won, was a huge hit at the Mad Hatter Tea Party themed Founder's Day!

Relay For Life at Poly was a blast and I had fun running the popcorn and cotton candy machines with these two!
