Tasty Tuesday

My Daddy makes better Banana Pudding than your Daddy!!

And he enjoys making it and takes great care in making it so perfect.

I finally took the time to take some pictures of him making

it for our Crenshaw Family Reunion this past weekend.

See that cute smile, he was grinning at me for taking his picture.

He's having some health problems and is having some tests run today

could you please keep him in your prayers?

Thanks.

This is an email he sent us a few weeks ago about the said Banana Pudding:
Dear ones,
Last night I went to General Priesthood meeting at the Stake Center. Our Stake President, Gene Patch, was making his way around the chapel greeting and shaking hands with all the brethren, when he got to the Palatka bunch he came down the row shaking hands and when he got to me he said, "Hi Bro.Crenshaw, oh by the way, a few days ago, Elder Gonzales of the Seventy was in our home for dinner and my wife fix your recipe for your banana pudding and it was delicious and Elder Gonzales said so too. He continued and said to tell Bro. Crenshaw it was great. So we gave you the credit for the recipe."

Last year when we had Ward Conference and dinner afterwards I fix two pudding so most would have some. Well, the Stake Presidency and wives were there and they got some of my banana pudding and they told me the really liked it. Around the first of the this year President Patch and Sister Patch was here for a Scout Court honor. I spoke to them she ask if I would give her my recipe for my banana pudding and I said if you'll give me your e-mail I'll send it to you. So she did and then I did.

Didn't hear anymore about it until last night when he told me the above information. It tickled me and I laughed and laughed. What a moment, just had to share that with y'all.

Y'all be good.
Keep the Faith,
I love you all,
Papa, Billy

I just thought that was so sweet and wanted to share it with yall along with the recipe again!

Papa's Banana Pudding

Ingredients:

4-6 ripe bananas, mellow, not mushy

1 box of vanilla wafers

small can 8 oz of crushed pineapple

2 cups of cold milk, skimmed

1 large box INSTANT VANILLA pudding mix

1 tub of cool whip topping

Directions:

Make sure cool whip topping is thoroughly thawed. Place cut up bananas and wafers in layers in serving bowl. Save about 12-15 wafers and crumbs to decorate the topping. Mix together the crushed pineapple and its juice, 2 cups of cold milk and slowly stir in the instant vanilla mix, remember the box calls for 3 cups of milk but you are substituting 8 oz of pineapple & juice for one cup of milk. Then shake or beat with electric beater as directed on package, at least one and a half minutes, then pour evenly over the wafers and bananas. When the liquid has settled, spread the topping over the mixture. Add the saved wafers and add them in your own design and sprinkle on the crumbs. Best when chilled a few hours or over night in the fridge. Enjoy the taste and the compliments. Guaranteed!

Try it you'll like it, I promise!
