May Recipe Club

Due to the recent storms and the fact that a lot of the group just regained power, this month's Recipe Club was super casual.  Thanks, Caron, for hosting us!  We were just excited to see everyone and know that everyone was safe.  Lauren chose 'Summertime Goodness' as our theme and all the recipes came from SouthernLiving.com.  We thought they were all yummy..but I have to admit, I think the winners were my 'Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Trifle' and my 'Potato Salad'.  Go check out our blog for these great summer recipes!

First step of the trifle...make the 'pudding'...a.k.a 'whisk constantly for 30 minutes'

Second step...set the pudding over ice and continue to whisk.

Third step...layer the pudding/bananas/Nutter Butters into the trifle dish

Fourth step...make homemade sweetened whip cream and beat it until it forms 'soft peaks'

Fifth step...crumble leftover Nutter Butters and sprinkle on top

Voile!  'Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Trifle'.  It's a great twist on your traditional 'Nana pudding recipe!

The group!

I have to admit that I gashed my finger open last night while chopping the potatoes...I have a bandage on my 'bird finger' and look ridiculous.  If you see me driving down the road and you think I'm shooting you a bird, I promise I'm not!   :)
