Lombard Family Recipes

This recipe is an oldie but a goodie. I remember eating it when I was little. Then I had it at a friends house a few years ago and loved it. But, last night was the first time I have ever made it.

I will never forget this banana cream pudding because my husband made it when we were in college and he lived in a dorm(without a kitchen...I might add). It is THAT easy. Lol! And what is crazy is I, for the FIRST time, made it tonight. Why I have not made this before now...I have no idea. Everyone who was over for dinner loved it!!! My husband is taking it to his small group...so we will see what everyone thinks of it. Yum! I am going to get a bowl of it in a bit. By the way, this recipe is from Derek's sweet sweet nanny who is no longer with us. She wrote this recipe in my recipe book. I love seeing her handwriting. We miss her! 1 16oz. Cool Whip 2 pkg.

So, maybe because we are from the South...I don't know...but the men of our family L-O-V-E beans. Any kind of bean will do. But they love them. And honestly, most of us women do to. I just started making beans for my hubby. My mother-in-law(the woman who sends me most of these yummy recipes on here) has introduced to me a new way and EASY way to make some good ole black eyed peas and lima bean mixture(or whatever kind of bean you would like). I made them tonight and my dad and husband absolutely loved them. My Dad said he would rather have those beans then the ones my Mom makes with a real ham hock. ha. That should tell you how good they are. Here ya go...it is easy breezy. 1 bag of frozen lima beans(or baby lima beans) 1 bag of black eyed peas 1 can of green beans(optional) 3 packets of Goya Ham Seasoning(they come in a box) Combine all beans together in a pot. Fill up the pot with water just covering the beans. Pour three packets of Goya Ham Seasoning in the pot. Stir...
