This week, my dessert of choice was homemade banana pudding… and boy was it delish! If you live in NYC, you’re probably familiar with Magnolia’s banana pudding which is also really good. However, as with most things in New York City, it’s really expensive. In order to satisfy my appetite at a fraction of the cost, I went to www.allrecipes.com. This is the same website where I found the recipe for the Key Lime Pie I wrote about a couple weeks ago. I’m posting the recipe below. It only takes about 15-20 minutes to make, but of course it tastes better after the finished pudding has had a chance to chill overnight. If you also like www.allrecipes.com, please tell me what some of your favorite recipes are… I’d live to try them out 
p.s. I used the Original NILLA Vanilla Wafers… I mean, there is NO proper substitution, haha!
