For some reason I decided to make a bowl of Banana Pudding. It always reminds me of family get togethers and reunions. I make this from scratch and no recipe. Have made it so many times over the years. I happened to have all of the ingredients needed. Plan to share with the neighbor as well. Do you have a favorite family recipe that brings back good memories for you?

@CarolDM My mom made the best lemon meringue pie. She has been gone these many years so I won't ever taste her pie again.

@akalinus You could still make the pie. My Mom is long gone as well but she made this pudding.

You can probably make this with your eyes closed - is this the Nilla Wafer dessert? My parent friend makes this too - brings back the feelings of childhood, she said. Can you believe I've never had this? There aren't really family recipes for me . . . but I guess strawberries with milk and sugar remind me of family dessert time in my childhood.

It looks good. No family favorites. The dish my mother took to every potluck was not a favorite of mine. I let someone else enjoy it.

Yeah, goulash. I love the way my mother used to make it. I have asked her for the recipe a few times and she told me what she put in it. Barbecued ham is another one.

Everyone always remarked how delicious my date squares were. My Dad smiled THE biggest smile in the world the last time that I made some for him. I think that those are our family recipe that everyone loves.

@CarolDM My Gramma used to make hermit cookies for my Dad, and he loved them. I never knew quite why he loved them so much, if they were baked by such a sweet lady or because they were so awfully good. My hubby and my Dad share similar tastes. This winter I dug out Gramma's recipe for those cookies and my hubby loves it when I bake them for him.

I don't think I've ever made a single banana cake. I love fresh banana and I think it would be too sweet in my cakes. Roasted chestnut reminds me of childhood. When we lived in Slovenia I ate it and whenever I smell roasted chestnuts, it takes me back to that time.
