    How to Make Homemade Banana Pudding (Video)

    How to Make Homemade Banana Pudding (Video) At a local store here in my small town, I pick up bananas at a big discount on Tuesdays.  On Wednesday nights after church we like to have some sort of snack or treat.  So, many times I whip up a quick batch of banana pudding and stick it in the fridge to have ready when we come home. I found a video online that shows how to make homemade banana pudding and their recipe looks pretty easy. (The actual version I use without eggs is down below underneath the video.)  I usually forgo the cookies to cut back on sugar…and no complaints…

Ingredients: 6 eggs 3 TB Mayo 2 tsp. mustard 1 tsp. celery seed Lawry’s seasoning salt Directions: Chop eggs. Mix in the other ingredients.  Sprinkle lightly with Lawry’s seasoning salt.  (Just enough to add some delicious flavor, but not so much to make it too salty.)

    Mom’s Easy Salsa Recipe

    My 3 boys love mom’s salsa.  This is actually a favorite of my oldest son, who is currently in Bible college, so I make a fresh batch every time he comes home.  They tend to eat a LOT…which allows me to sneak in extra vegetable servings. Add a little of this salsa to some other meals you make to pep up the taste. I add leftover salsa to rice or Mexican recipes, etc.
