Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Triffle

I found this delicions recipe in the February 09 issue of Southern Living. They bait you by putting it right on the cover so that all you can think about is banana pudding! I want to make it for a baby shower so I tested it out on our supper club friends last night. I think it was a hit!






3 cups milk
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla extract
5 medium-size ripe bananas
1 (1-lb.) package Nutter Butters
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Garnishes: peanut butter cookies, dried banana chips, fresh mint sprigs

1. Whisk together first 4 ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, 15 to 20 mins or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted.


2. Fill a large bowl with ice. Please saucepan in ice, and let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly chilled.



3. Meanwhile, cut bananas into 1/4-inch slices. Break cookies into thirds.



4. Spoon half of pudding mixture into a 3-qt. bowl or pitcher. Top with bananas and cookies. Spoon remaining pudding mixture over bananas and cookies.


Top with sweetened whipped cream. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours. Garnish, if desired.

Coffee Cake

One of my favorite 'meal' memories growing up is coffee cake. My dad used to make it and I just LOVED it! He would always leave a little bit of streusel topping for me to snack on. I made some this morning and thought I'd share the recipe! I believe it's from Bisquick.



COFFEE CAKE

Heat Oven to 400*

2 cups of Bisquick
2/3 cup of milk
2 tbsp of sugar
1 egg

STREUSEL TOPPING
1/3 cup Bisquick
1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp firm butter

Mix until crumbly

Southern's Suggestion: I like a lot of streusel so I triple the streusel topping. That way, there's a generous amount on the coffee cake, and a little bit left over to snack on!

mix ingredients
spread in greased pan (9")
sprinkle with topping*
Bake 20-25 min

Breakfast Casserole with Crescent Rolls

I found this recipe a few weeks ago and have been meaning to make it ever since. This morning we accidentally overslept and missed church, so since we had some time, I decided to try the casserole finally. We just finished eating and my husband said, several times, "This is the best casserole I've ever eaten!" I LOVE it when he loves what I cook.

Unfortunately I can't take credit for this yummy recipe...but I can share it!!!
