dear friends for dinner last night
dined on the porch
sweet gentle rain falling
symphony of the frogs on the lake our only music
a soft glow in the early twilight
the conversation mellow
the coconut shrimp divine
THE FINALE
Yum Yum
Banana Split Cake
A fun dessert for a last summer hurrah before the kids head back to school, but heck, fix it anyway. No excuses needed for this oh so good treat.
- 1 carton (16 oz.) cool whip (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 package (3.4oz.) instant vanilla pudding
- 1 - 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
- 24 graham crackers
- 2 bananas, sliced thin
In a large bowl, mix the cool whip, sour cream, and pudding mix until blended. Fold in pineapple. Fill a ziploc bag with pudding mixture and cut off one corner of the bag.
On a flat serving plate or baking dish, arrange graham crackers in a rectangle. Pipe pudding mixture over the crackers and top with sliced bananas. Repeat layers. (I only did 3 layers, recipe calls for 5) Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Graham crackers should get soft.
Before serving add your toppings to resemble a banana split and loosen belt. :) ♥

Oh my goodness! It looks divine! I would love a little splurge right now.
Thank you so much for your kind words last week during our loss. They meant so much!
Did you find the spicy orange chicken recipe? Did it work for you?
Sounds like the perfect summer evening and the desert looks divine. May have to copy that recipe and give it a try. Not ready for summer to leave us, especially since it was too hot to enjoy it much. Now its just perfect and time for it to go. Must have lots of company for those outside dinners before it gets too cold.
