Homemade Banana Pudding with Whipped Cream Topping Recipe.
Perfect! I made the recipe exactly as stated and it was wonderful. Not sickeningly sweet (as so many recipes can be), with cookies sufficiently softened with custard (with the occasional "hint of crunch"), and with a fair amount of fresh bananas. Fresh ingredients from scratch - that's the way. It looked great in the trifle bowl too.The family raved!

My Own Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe.
Great tasting and holds together pretty well! I only used 1/4 tsp of ground allspice (as recommended by several reviewers) and used 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. I also drained the pie mixture before putting it into the pie bottom. Everything came together pretty well with those changes.

Pineapple Upside-Down Bundt Cake.
I tried to follow this recipe as written as so many said that they did and it turned out wonderful. First, the recipe calls for an 8 oz. can of pineapple rings. It appears by most photos that everyone used a larger can by how many pineapple rings are on their cakes. I could not find an 8 oz. can of pineapple rings so purchased a Dole 20 oz. can (in heavy syrup) and measured out what would be 8 oz. which turned out to be 4 pineapple rings and about 1/3 cup of juice. (That kinda makes no sense because now I needed 2/3 cup of milk and she calls for 1/4 cup or as needed - this seems like a big leap but that's ok - I did use 2/3 cup of milk to bring that to 1 cup). I did decide to use another couple of pineapple rings from the can because it looked too sparse just using 4 which didn't seem to make any difference in the end anyway. Secondly, the recipe calls for an 18.25 oz boxed yellow cake mix. What I found was 15.25 oz. Betty Crocker yellow cake mix. Could this be the reason why so many cakes are coming up with too much moisture? Maybe. Thirdly, like many others at 40 minutes a wooden skewer showed that my cake was still not baked through. I left it another 10 minutes (a total of 50 minutes) and then it was done perfectly. Making those changes though - made an absolutely terrific Pineapple Upside-Down Bundt® Cake! Couldn't give it the 5 stars I wanted to for all of the diversions I had to make to the original recipe buts it was 5 stars after my changes. I hope that helps some others!

Banana Flips
These are fast and easy AND SCRUMPTIOUS!!! The only thing that I changed was to use powdered sugar instead of granulated - same amount. I assembled mine on a piece of floured parchment paper and then used an electric knife to cut them easily and then transferred them to a cake stand.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake V
It's a keeper. I used the Pillsbury golden butter recipe cake mix and the cakes baked 30 minutes. When I turned the first layer over some brown sugar and pineapple stuck, but it was easy enough to just spread it back on the layer. I also did the same with the bit of brown sugar and coconut left behind in the top layer pan - but the pineapples and cherries turned fine. We had ours with a bit of cool whip on top. Yummmmmy!
