Before we got married, my husband had a second job delivering pizza. On a delivery he noticed the group had instruments and were setting up to play together. My husband, a musician, asked them what they were doing. The guy told him they got together every week for a bluegrass jam at his house. My husband, who doesn’t have a filter asked him if he could join them. The guy said yes! Keep in mind, all of these guys are in their 70’s and my husband, at the time was in his late 30’s. The things my husband can get into… Well, every week they do a small potluck and bring different dishes. Have a meal together and then play some of the best bluegrass I’ve ever heard. I’m from Nashville, I know good music when I hear it. Sometimes wives would come and join in the fun and bring their specialty dish. One of the ladies would bring banana pudding and everyone raved about it. After a few weeks, I asked her for the recipe. She graciously shared it with me! Well, the above recipe is the exact one she shared with me with 2 important changes. She used Cool Whip…I don’t like Cool Whip. So, I changed that to heavy whipping cream. She used a standard vanilla, I haven’t used regular vanilla in over a decade. Please take this next statement seriously. Mexican Vanilla makes a difference. Now, repeat that and never use regular vanilla again…in ANYTHING! Switch to Mexican Vanilla, you will thank me forever and always!
