Banana Pudding in Mason Jars!!!!!

Banana Pudding in a MASON JAR??? Oh. HECK!!!!!

I just put this on my facebook page, www.facebook.com/shabbychicksnaples  and thought i should share it with you, too:)

Okay, back to the pudding...

As if the stuff wasn't good in any ol' dish, these brilliant people thought of putting it in mason jars, to make it even better! (cause everything tastes better in a mason jar. Just sayin;) And now, since I've shown you the pictures, the least I can do is share one of my MANY favorite recipes for this crack-like substance:) 

NOT YO MAMA'S BANANA PUDDING...from Paula Deen 

(and say what y'all want, but this lady knows her puddin:)

INGREDIENTS:

2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies (you can also use vanilla wafers)

6 to 8 bananas, sliced

2 cups milk

1 (5-ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream

DIRECTIONS:

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.

In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy!!!!!

Pink + Balloons + Sweets = PARTY TIME!!!

i feel SO lazy this morning.

in fact, i almost felt too lazy to do a post for pink saturday's 4th birthday.

now THAT is lazy, right?

then i remembered back 2 summers ago,

when i was diagnosed with MS.

it was Beverly and her pink posse to the rescue.....

praying for me, sending me encouraging notes,

checking in from time to time, 

simply giving me a boost when i needed it most.

SO

i decided to get off my lazy butt and take part in the

pink saturday party!!!

come on in.......let's get started:)

hop on your bicycle......and don't forget the balloons.

after all, what is a party without PINK balloons??? 

turn LEFT at the PRETTY PINK phone booth.....

proceed along the BEAUTIFUL PINK tree lined road.

my house will be the little white cottage at the end of the road......

you can't miss it because it's the only one with a

PINK door:)

just yell "HEY" if you need a hand with your PINK presents:)

gosh...it's great to have you here.

just wait and see,

there will be........

i should probably warn you.....

it's a bit of a zoo around here

with all my animals.

but they like PINK too so......

at least they followed the dress code.....

WEAR SOMETHING PINK:)

by the way,

thank you for the lovely flowers!

okay, enough talk!

please get yourself something yummy to eat.....

and if you brought your bikini,

grab a surfboard and hit the waves!

and then we can watch the sunset together.......

until next time.......
