Banana Pudding

Banana pudding is a hometown favorite!  My mom and grandmother made this often for me when I was younger and I considered it a treat!  They both made the BEST banana pudding.  My husband and I always fight over this recipe because he likes more bananas and I like mine loaded with cookies...lol.  Either way, banana pudding is a staple in most southern homes and after you try this recipe, you'll see why!
