Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding

If you love the taste of banana pudding but hate the inevitable soggy vanilla wafers that come with making it the old fashioned way (sorry Mama!) - I have a super duper yummy recipe for you. I found this recipe on one of my favorite cooks website, the incomparable, Ms Paula Deen. My Mom and I made it for the first time together, while she was here visiting last month. And on that rare occasion, we both agreed - it was the best banana pudding we have ever tasted. I made another batch last night, because we had a friend over for dinner. G took the rest of the banana pudding to work this morning and I have already received emails thanking me for the afternoon office treat. The recipe is extremely easy - you can not mess it up! Try it out and let me know what you think:)

Extended Vacation

That was a long vacation, huh? Not one post for the entire month of August. What can I say? Life happens. Ok. First things first. Our family vacation turned out to be the best family vacation EVER. For real. The monkeys were soooooo cool - my favorite memory of Honduras. Can you believe that the first photo is G's Dad? Love it! After the cruise, my Mom came to visit. Fun times - we laughed non stop, shopped non stop and managed to even bake together. I have some yummy From Scratch recipes to post. Since her visit, I have been totally engulfed in yoga. My website is up. Yaaaaah! And I finally found a yoga studio in my area that not only challenges me in my personal practice but also has two amazing teachers that truly inspire me - I know for a fact, I am becoming a better teacher because of them. And finally, we are in the midst of making some really important decisions regarding the next couple of years - we are thinking about finally growing some roots here in the good old USA. More to come:)
