This is just one, there are many more.....





Banana Pudding.





Ingredients








3/4 cups granulated sugar


3 eggs


2 heaping Tbsp flour


1/2 tsp salt


2 Tbsp butter


1 tsp vanilla extract


4 ripe bananas


1 box vanilla Wafers








Directions





In a 2 quart sauce pan, combine the dry ingredients and whisk to blend well. Add the eggs and a little milk and mix well, then slowly add the remaining milk and the butter.Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until pudding comes to a slow boil. Continue cooking and stirring until pudding begins to thicken.


Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Place a layer of the vanilla wafers in the bottom of a serving bowl, add a thin layer of the warm pudding, then a layer of sliced bananas. Continue with the layers, ending with the pudding. Arrange a few wafers on top as a garnish if desired, or top with lightly sweetened whipped cream.


Chill before serving.

good stuff and easy
Strawberry Shortcake.





Go buy the tiny individual sponge cakes--





2 cartons of strawberrys.





Cut strawberrys-- sprinkle them in sugar-- let sit for about 15 minutes and it will make the strawberries ';sweat'; to make the sauce-- just pour strawberries over the spongecake and add cool whip for a little something extra ;)
I call this Cherry Delight. It's really easy and simple!


It calls for Angel Food Cake, Cherry Pie Filling, Cherry Jello, and Cool Whip.





Get a bowl, tear apart the angel food cake into pieces and put them in the bowl, spread the cherry pie filling all over, (for the jello...you only add the amount for the hot water NOT THE COLD WATER) pour the jello mix all over in the bowl and chill in the frig.


After a couple of hours, pull it out and add the cool whip topping to it. It's really yummy and it's a light dessert!





* you can have layers in your dish, add a little angel food cake, put a little bit of cherry pie filling on top, and then repeat again and finally add the jello mix on top. I do it this way and you get more in your bite!





* this is a really easy dessert if you have diabetics. You can get sugar free jello and sugar free cherry pie filling. I also make it this way for my uncle. :-)
Here's one... Buy pre-made sugar cookies from the store. Create ';icing'; by mixing about 4 ounces of cream cheese with about a cup of sugar. Mix until smooth, top cookies with the icing. Sliced strawberries ( and kiwi if you like them ) and place several slices on top of the cookies. I call these mini strawberry torts. Kids love them- and some adults too!
