Some recipes don’t just feed your stomach — they feed your soul. This is one of them.

There was one recipe, though, that stood out — a dish so iconic in our family that we still talk about it at every holiday table. And yes, I finally recreated it. Let me tell you something straight: it still slaps. Hard.
The Recipe That Stands the Test of Time
Whether it was a rainy afternoon or a lazy Sunday morning, Nana would whip up this dish like it was no big deal. But to me, it was everything. The smells coming from the kitchen, the sounds of sizzling or bubbling, the first bite when it was finally cool enough to eat — it’s burned into my memory in the best way.
And now? I make it for my family. And they love it just as much.

Old-School Banana Pudding (with Vanilla Wafers and Homemade Custard)
Sweet, creamy, and layered with love — just like she used to make.
