1-1/2 sticks butter

6 egg yolk

3 cups sugar

6tbls flour

1-1/2 teaspoon salt

1-qt half and half

1-pint whipping cream

2-teaspoon vanilla
I melt butter in heavy sauce pan and remove from heat

—meanwhile I combine sugar, flour, salt.

I beat the egg yolks up and then combine the sugar mixture, butter, and egg yolks

Stirring them to a well mixed paste
Over medium heat I then add the milk products –stirring constantly until it begins to thicken.

When thickened –remove from heat and stir in the vanilla
I know this is not how Betty Crocker adds eggs but this is how I do it—LOL

As this begins to cool just a tad arrange your first layer of vanilla wafers—then a layer of banana slices, now a layer of pudding,–repeat until all is layered finishing with a layer of vanilla wafers

Holiday Recipes~Nannies Dressing 

Dressing!!! Mmmmm. This is something that can make or break a Thanksgiving for me. Lol. I love my moms dressing and until this dressing below have never liked anyone else’s.

 The first time I came to Mommajos for a Holiday and there was dressing I almost passed it up. I looked at it and thought wow that looks like my moms I better try it. Mmmmmm mmmm am I glad I did.  

So here it is Mommajos -Nannies Recipe!  Now she can pass it down to her smiles!!  

To me my Lil Nannie was the best cook in the world. She made all kinds of yummy homemade recipes but the taste of her dressing lives on in my mind. I’ve played around with this recipe and have finally perfected it to match my memory. I hope y’all enjoy! BlessingS ~Carol

Holiday Recipe~Meema’s Rolls 


Wow talk about tears. I was reading through Natasha’s recipes and photos she sent me today. This touched my heart so I had to add what she had to say. 

“These rolls are a must at every holiday meal. My Meema’s rolls. She used to make them every holiday and even for Sunday dinners. Sometimes she would use the dough as a base for cinnamon rolls. I was so blessed to spend many hours in the kitchen with her, learning hands on how to make all of her signature recipes, and gleaning much wisdom about life in the process. She is the woman that took me to church, every weekend that she was able, as a child on up through my teen years. In my mind she was the one that helped lay that solid foundation for my faith. I do not think I would be who I am today without her in my life. ? Now I am the one that makes these for all of our holiday meals since she says that I’ve got her method down pretty well. ? 


As you can tell this woman is very dear to my heart, and has made a huge impact on my life. At 95 years young she is loved so much by everyone that crosses her path. ?”

Thank you so much Natasha!
