Hollaback Girl.

So, I was cleaning out our pantry and came across some Nilla Wafers. I had used them for something at one point, but didn't use many of them, so I had a lot left.

Anyway, from my cleaning, I decided to make Homemade Banana Pudding! Yum! I have never made it before and was really excited.

I got the recipe from the Nabisco Website.

Here are some pictures.....

The first step was to cook the vanilla pudding and add egg yolk. If you decide to make this, SAVE the egg white, you will need them for later. I did not know this, and just wasted a bunch of eggs! :) Also, it may seem that it is taking a while for the pudding to boil, but it just takes a while. Keep stirring it so it doesn't burn!

Next step was to line your dish with the Nilla wafers, and start the layering.....

But first, Chop up the bananas! ( A little song to go along with the making of this, could be, Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl", " This mess is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S)

Then.... Layer....

mmm boy....

Ok, All done layering.... Almost done. The last part is the Meringue on Top!

Now, The Meringue was tricky. After you blend everything together, the recipe called for "stiff peaks," when mixing the meringue. Well, I did not know what in the world that meant, until I was done baking it! All it really means, is how long you need to mix the meringue up. My peaks, were more soft, rather than stiff, but it was all good!

So, there you have it folks. My very first banana pudding!

Keep rocking, Gwen. She ain't no hollaback girl.
