Banana Pudding with Graham Crackers

I made this banana pudding with graham crackers recipe when I was craving the dish, but out of the traditional Nilla wafers. When I realized graham crackers would make nice even layers a snap, the idea to make it in an 8x8-inch pan came fast. It tastes amazing — crackers soften quicker than wafers. The addition of the whip cream topping makes this very creamy; the even layering means you taste all three elements in every bite!

Amazing Mexican Quinoa Salad

An extremely yummy, spicy, Mexican quinoa salad that will keep in the fridge for up to a week! My kids in university love packing this up for their lunch.
