TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK

My son, Bakari, goes to school and this week is Teacher Appreciation week. Well, I think his school really knows how to show their appreciation to the teachers. Monday and Friday the parents are doing a pot luck for them, Thursday they'll receive a scrapbook that the kids have been working on, and the other days are left for our own ideas. Bakari is going to make his teacher a card. Well, all the parents had to sign up to bring a dish on either Monday or Friday so I chose a dessert to bring in today. I chose a dessert because those are usually less expensive but a great treat. I was thinking of going with good ole sugar cookies but they seemed kind of plain. Nothing too special about sugar cookies. Then after speaking with my sister, SCHII, she gave me the idea of banana pudding. She told me a cheap, quick, and easy way to make it. So I took off making the banana pudding with the pudding, bananas, and Nilla wafers. YUM! I was literally salivating. I made a dish for the school and a dish for here at home (hey I'm a teacher too, gotta give myself a little appreciation :-) So here's the banana pudding (you can find the recipe on the sidebar):
