Food Friday

Who doesn't love a banana pudding?!
My Daddy came to visit me this past Sunday afternoon and I thought I would make the visit even sweeter and make a banana pudding. One of these days I am going to make it the old fashion way, but until then, Jell-O instant is my friend!

I will say adding cool whip to the pudding mixture makes a huge improvement in the quick method. I use lots of bananas, a whole box of wafers and I use one box of banana pudding flavored mix and one vanilla flavored pudding mix. I rarely have any left because everyone loves it!

Daddy and I chatted about our Sunday memory of banana pudding and I loved the trek down memory lane. He drove the little old ladies home on the bus after church when I was a little girl, and I would ride with him sometimes. I loved riding but I remember always being hungry and ready to go home and eat lunch...imagine that!


There was a sweet little lady on the bus who often had a banana pudding for Daddy.(We tried to remember her name and we couldn't. I feel so bad about that.) Anyway, we would get to her house and she would go in and get it out of the fridge and give it to Daddy. I would hold the glass bowl in my lap all the way home. I remember Daddy always being excited and it being really yummy!

My little foodie loves the kitchen. His little cruiser has been in the kitchen for a while now. He sometimes likes to get in it and sometimes he would rather not be bothered with it and just dig through the cabinets instead. He decided cruising was for him on this day and I laughed at how big he is in it. I think I will retire it to the attic soon. The sweet little foodie is growing way too fast!


Happy Food Friday!

P.S. Marie Stitsworth was the sweet little lady's name. Thanks, Mama! :)

Oh yum. I haven't had that since I was a little girl. My grandmother (from Kentucky) would make it for us and it was sooo good. :) Fond memories. :)

the little lady's name is Marie Stitsworth. She has gone on to be with Jesus. She could make some wonderful banana pudding though.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
