I Gain 5lbs Just MAKING This...

I told you before I don't make a lot of the traditional dishes people love because I don't want mine to be compared to {insert name of mom, grandmother, aunt, etc.)'s version. But on Thanksgiving I decided to give a new Banana Pudding recipe a try... and I curse and praise that I did. This banana pudding rocks my world... my mouth loves it and my newly adapted healthy lifestyle hates it.

I will not make this dish unless I'm taking it to a party or having a group over... I force feed it to Andy if we have leftovers because I have NO willpower around this stuff. When I make it I lick the beaters, the bowl, the spoon, the counter... So there, I gave you fair warning before giving you this recipe that will give you love handles just looking at the dish.

AND I can't even take credit for the recipe. I'll just send you straight to the blog it came from.... but first let me give you my edits/tweaks/advice:

• I LOVE bananas, so I use 5-6 bananas. 
• USE a mixer when beating the cream cheese --- it doesn't show it or say it on the recipe, but do it. 
•  And go ahead, lick the bowl, you only live once.

Without further delay, here's the recipe: http://pearls-handcuffs-happyhour.blogspot.com/2010/06/momma-didnt-make-it-like-this.html

I've been wanting to try it with sour cream instead of cream cheese, but I just always happen to have extra cream cheese on hand and not sour cream {most likely due to the fact that Andy loves sour cream on everything...}.
