Banana Pudding with Graham Crackers

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!

Penne, Peppers, and Chicken-Apple Sausage Saute

This recipe originated with my son, who makes it with very spicy chicken sausages. I loved it so much that I adapted it to suit our taste. Because my husband prefers less spicy food, I use milder chicken-apple sausage. This is one of our favorite dinners.
