Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

No Guilt Banana Dessert

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

I started making this about 25 years ago, and it has been a family favorite ever since.  Cool, light and tasty, the perfect dessert.  It’s low in fat and sugar so you can enjoy the sweetness without the guilt!  Great treat for diabetics and those who may be dieting.  It’s a fast recipe that takes only 15-20 minutes to make.  I took one to a dinner party last night and folks were taking seconds!  Enjoy!



Ingredients

2 small boxes Jell-O instant, sugar-free, vanilla pudding
6-8 bananas
12 ounce Cool Whip (I use Lite or Fat-Free)
Graham Crackers

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, prepare pudding to the directions (for pudding) on the package.  I use 1% milk.  Slice bananas into the pudding.  Refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Layer in a 13x9 inch glass baking dish as follows:
Graham crackers on the bottom of the pan
½ of the pudding mixture
½ of the cool whip



Add another layer of graham crackers
Remaining ½ of the pudding mixture
Remaining ½ of the cool whip

Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Prepare your taste buds for the tasty treat you are about to bestow on them!
