Here is another favorite Cajun dessert that is so easy and sinfully delicious. Eating it brings back so many memories of my childhood. Sometimes my mother would have a big bowl of banana pudding on the counter, when we got home from school, and we would dive into it, in a flash. Cest bon, cher. Enjoy!
Southern Banana Pudding
2 large cans of Pet milk
1 cup sugar
2 bananas, sliced
1 bag vanilla wafers
Cinnamon for sprinkling
In large Pyrex bowl, place 1/2 of the vanilla wafers and bananas.
Heat milk in medium saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour the eggs into the milk and return to low heat and add sugar. Continue cooking on low, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and pour 1/2 of the pudding over the vanilla wafers and bananas. Add other half and repeat. Sprinkle with cinnamon and top with whipped cream. Serves 6. Bon Appetit!

We got drenched again, today. Don't you love it? So nice and normal!
The kids devoured the nanner puddin and all I got was one small dish.
Eddie- After two POTD's in one month, I figured that you deserved another award for your creative writing and photos. And I admire the fact that you are graciously accepting it, unlike someone else we know. lol The pleasure was all mine, cher! Merci, I will be looking forward to it!!

Marguerite, you have one of the most amazing food blogs I have ever had the pleasure of finding. You deserve this award and so many more.
Now that pudding...wow brings back so many memories of when my Memere made a banana pudding so very similar when I was growing up.
Katherine- Merci for the sweet compliments and thank you so much, again, for presenting me with the award. It means so much, coming from a fellow Cajun. Have a great week!
sfauthor- Thanks a lot for visiting. And no, I didn't know about these yoga books. They look great. Many thanks for the link.
Congrats! I enjoy coming by to get a taste of Cajun hospitality.
Whenever I hear the phrase "banana pudding" I always think of the song by Southern Culture On The Skids ("puddinpuddinpuddin...banana puddin', banana puddin'...somethin' funky with the skin on top...day old and bold, baby!")
That, and 'Nilla wafers.
I also saw where Marlene lives right next door to my old hometown. Small world!
'Nuff of that, though. Marguerite, thank you kindly for the award! Now I'm blushing and stuff!
Elizabeth- Merci, cher! It makes me very happy if I can make you feel at home. That's the Cajun way. Cheers!
Irish- What a hilarious song. I love your sense of humor! Yes, it is a small world. You should get to know Marlene. She knows how to party and has Cajun connections.
You're so welcome, and so deserving of this award.
Thank you so much for considering my blog worthy of an award Marguerite. I appreciate your reading my posts and making comments but I do not feel comfortable accepting awards – your enjoying my blog is reward enough for me. I hope you will continue reading it, and commenting on it. For myself, I always look forward to reading your interesting posts and great recipes.
Vagabonde- You're quite welcome, cher! Merci for your kind and thoughtful comments. I love your blog and think that you do an outstanding job. As long as you write I will follow. :)
