  7. Using waffles is interesting. I have never made a banana pudding because I do not like raw bananas but now that I have had banana cake, I am more open to trying banana recipes.

    Isn't it amazing how we keep our childhood prejudices?

  8. Sounds delicious. I wonder if I could come up with a substitute for the wafers. I'll have to think on that one.

  12. I love banana pudding but never had it made quite like this! I'll definitely have to give it a try!
    By the way Geri, I wanted to feature one of your recipes this week on Monday Munchies, but when I clicked to save your photo they don't show up in my photos! On the next featured recipes round can you send me the photo once I select a recipe.
    Thanks Martha :-)
