Another old-fashioned favorite passed down over generations. Scratch cooking doesn't have to be a lot of work. This banana pudding is simple but creamy and just sweet enough. Play with the amount of bananas and graham cracker crumbs to your liking. Sometimes, I only use crumbs on the bottom of the pan and sprinkle more on the very top layer. Serve with or without whipped cream.
