The Best Banana Pudding

Oh…you are going to love this Banana Pudding!  It is sooo good!  Being Southern, I was just about raised on ‘Nana Puddin’!  I betcha it was most likely one of  my very first foods.  My precious Mama made it just about every week.  I know~we were lucky!   No matter the time of year, you could always find  ‘Nana Puddin’ at every get together.  

Seems everyone had a different way to make it and it was all GOOD!!!  I don’t think you can mess up Banana Pudding, can you?   🙂   I hope Y’all enjoy this.  Please excuse me now as I get a bowl and spoon and curl up on the couch to reminisce of days gone by and eat a Southern Family Classic.
