Hello! I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend. I know I did, as I decided I would cook. Cooking and baking make me happy.
I found a recipe for a banana split pie. I had heard of the banana split cake as my mother use to make those and everyone loved them when she would take them to our family get togethers. I remember my mother always wanted to keep her recipes a secret. It was because she always liked to surprise my aunts and my grandmother. They always knew she would have the best dessert and it would be awesome.
As a child going to the dinner table, my father would always remind us that if mother would say, “Kids, did I put too much salt in the potatoes or did I get the meat too done?” my father would give us the look of do not say anything! And, of course, we would say, “It’s delicious, mother” and my father would agree.
And after the meal, Dad would say “Kids, dive in the dish plan. That has been an ongoing joke with all of my sisters and our children.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Please send me your favorite recipes to share with everyone, along with a picture and maybe a story about the recipe if you have one. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
As Wayne Hatfield used to say to his four daughters: “Now, kids, dive in the dishpan.
