Let’s make some… “Nana Banana” Pudding
This simple dessert brings back so many wonderful memories for our family. It reminds us of many social get-togethers, and it is ideal for making, taking, and sharing at all of these gatherings. Banana pudding also holds a special place in Kailee and my heart because it reminds us of an annual Christmas Eve party we used to have with family and friends at Gabriel’s home. We love and miss you both dearly, Dean and Judy. RIP/XOXO
Fun Facts
Did you know?
In 1921 an individual cook, Mrs. Laura Kerley, not Nabisco, came up with the idea of using vanilla wafers in her banana pudding recipe.
Twenty years after Mrs. Kerley’s recipe in the 1940s, the Nabisco company started publishing the recipe for banana pudding on the side of its Vanilla Wafers boxes—(And they were vanilla wafers, not Nilla Wafers. Nabisco didn’t start using that brand name until the 1960s.) _ according to Seriouseats.com
