I see lots of people on social media talking about trying out new recipes.

Have you made anything new that was good, or not so good?

I just made, but have not yet eaten, Trisha Yearwood’s Banana Pudding. She uses roasted bananas and peanut butter cookies instead of Nilla wafers. She also uses homemade vanilla pudding. I didn’t feel like making homemade vanilla pudding so I grabbed a box of instant and whipped it up. I put the layers in a glass bread pan and it’s got to set overnight.

I ate one of the roasted banana slices and I could see that roasting them really condenses the flavor.

I have a tendency to make things and after two or three days, I get bored with them and end up throwing the rest out. It’s only two of us in the house so I like the variety of new things but there’s nobody to eat it up.
