Nothing says ‘Spring’ to me  more than a heaping bowl full of Banana Pudding.

And this recipe is seriously the greatest thing you will put in your mouth this season.

I promise. 🙂

The Happy Hubby and I have been known to sit down with the whole bowl of Banana Pudding Wonder, clink our two spoons and just dig away.

I really like that it’s not your usual Vanilla-Wafer-Banana-Pudding.

Read on to find out this amazing deliciousness!

The Happy Home Fairy’s Banana Pudding of Wonder

Ingredients –

  • BIG box of Instant Vanilla Pudding
  • Milk
  • 1 loaf of prepared banana bread (I like to use the Pillsbury mix to save time!)
  • 12 oz container of Cool Whip
  • Lots of bananas

Directions – Step 1 – Find a big bowl that’s deep enough for lots of banana pudding layers.

*I got the one in the picture from Marshalls several years ago. 🙂

Step 2 – Cut your loaf of banana bread in half and crumble one half in the bottom of your large bowl.Step 3 – Prepare the box of pudding using the milk and let it set.  Then pour it over the banana bread crumbles.Step 4 – Slice some bananas on top of the pudding.Step 5 – Spread half the carton of Cool Whip on top of the banana slices.

Step 6 – Repeat layers.

Step 7 – Cover with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for several hours.  The longer it’s in there, the better.

Step 8 – Try to keep your Happy Buddy from devouring the whole thing. 🙂Step 9 – When you can’t wait any longer, scoop it out and into a tall glass.

Step 10 – LOOOOOOOOOOVE it with every bite!!!!!

And if your Happy Hubby is especially fond of banana pudding, put a note like this on his portion and have it ready for him after a long day of work.Happy Banana Pudding-ing! 🙂

*In case you missed it, I did a post yesterday on Tips for Shopping at Publix Grocery Store.  I hope you’ll check it out!

    Julie,
    I love your blog! It is so much fun to read and I know that your “Happy Mom and Happy Dad” are proud of you as I am. When I had young kids or even young grand-kids, I would have loved to have a blog like yours to look at every day. Thank you for all you are doing for the young families and grandparents that read your great and fun ideas! I always loved having fun with my kids as you seem to do. You are a very special young lady. Hope to hear you sing again soon!!! Does your blog “happy friends” know that you sing beautifully?
    Love,
    Carol Wilson

    I made this for our small group Bible study this week and everyone LOVED it. I also tried your taco pizza a couple weeks ago. It went over pretty well with my family too. Thanks for always posting such fun and creative things. I love that I am able to get inspiration from your creativity.

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨

  • You know it’s family picture day when I put on lipstick, no one wants to wear the outfits I carefully picked out, and there’s a 100% chance of rain! So thankful for @heatherholtphoto and her expert abilities to capture what feels like a mess and make it into something beautiful. That’s some Gospel inspiration right there. Here’s to a 2020 Christmas card!

We must be diligent to wrestle our fears out WITH the Lord (and not in our own minds or on social media or in a pint of ice cream ). Plop yourself into His presence and tell him everything that is bothering you. Be real. Be raw. Cry. Be mad. Be disappointed. But then >> don’t stay there. Refuse to let go of the Lord until you are rehearsing Truth back to Him. Remember how He has been faithful in the past. Say to Him that you don’t understand
