Dallin's creative side

My sweet Dallin is always begging to make some new yummy dessert. He literally checks out books from the school library that has recipes in it. Now I'm not a good cook. Well, I mean, I don't like to cook. I can follow a recipe for the most part, but I don't LOVE it. But how can I turn my Dallin down?

So a few times we've gone through the books and bought the ingredients so we could make one of the dishes from inside.

The one he wanted to make today was called "Monkey Pudding."


From the ingredients it looked like it would taste like a basic banana pudding dessert. You line the pan with vanilla wafers.....

Mix the pudding with milk, whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk, then add a layer of bananas. (It also called for mini marshmallows, but we didn't put them in).....

Then repeat the layering......

And voila! You have this non-fancy, but very easy and yummy delightness!

Dallin was disappointed when we read that it was supposed to be refrigerated overnight, but I told him that since we were making it early in the day, it would probably be okay for dessert tonight.

Well, here's the thing. You know how when you make something yummy and you just plan to take a bite or two out of the pan because after all, you don't want a whole piece.....you just want a taste and you don't think that will be so bad? Plus, a couple of bites don't really count when they're right out of the pan, right?.....but then, before you know it, you've already eaten that square piece because one bite turned into 6 and you just couldn't help yourself.

This was that kind of dessert for me. And I figured I was even more off the hook, since tomorrow is fast Sunday and I'll be skipping a couple of meals anyway......

But listen, I'm telling you, if you like banana cream pie, then you should get this recipe and try it. (If you want it, let me know).......VERY YUMMY! Thanks Dallin for the fun times and the great new dessert.

Admit it, your mouth is watering right now, isn't it?
