Banana Pudding

Banana pudding is one of my very favorite desserts, I can't get enough banana pudding ice cream, and if you haven't had banana pudding ice cream you need to reaccess your priorities. This is definitely best the next day after the flavors have all come together and and nilla wafers are soft and delicious!

This is nostalgia recipe for me, my mom and I used to eat this by the bowl full when I was a kid. In fact tonight, I caught her standing in front of the refrigerator, eating it out of my beautiful trifle dish. No one can accuse us of being ladies, ahem. Just don't tell her I told.

I made this all fancy schmancy for presentation sake,

but it is a nice way to serve it if you are having a dinner party. 

Most of the time i just pile it into a cereal bowl and munch.

I wanted to take pictures of the whole process, however 

I was also making dinner, and I had a
salivating starving boyfriend 

waiting, there was no time for pictures!

I love my trifle dish

I took these with my new Nikon . 

It's my first SLR camera and I am still learning.

I wish I had natural light, but oh well, 

most of my free time is at night.

since I didnt take tutorial pictures, and I had a 

new camera I took a bunch of pictures blah.

I love banana pudding. I know you will love this recipe.
