Published

Banana Pudding

By: Lacey Vilhauer

Total Time: 3.5 Hours | Serves 10-128

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cup milk
1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk 3 cups heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 box vanilla wafers
4 bananas, sliced into coins
2 tsp. sugar

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, vanilla pudding mix, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly, breaking up any lumps and refrigerate for at least 5
minutes, or until set. In another large bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Set aside half of the mixture for topping the dish. Fold remaining half into the pudding mixture.

Cover the bottom of a 3-quart trifle dish with vanilla wafers. Top with one-third of
the pudding mixture. Cover with another layer of the wafer cookies–you may want to also stand some cookies up vertically, sou can see the full circle along the edge of the trifle dish. Top with an even layer of banana slices. Continue layering the pudding, wafer cookies and banana slices until you reach the top, ending with a final layer of banana pudding.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Sweeten the remaining whipped cream by adding the 2 teaspoons of sugar and stirring to combine. Just before serving, dollop on top of the banana pudding, then sprinkle crumbled wafer cookies on top.

Life Lessons From A Public Restroom

Lessons can be learned anywhere, even a public restroom.

By: Dal Houston

As wacky as it sounds, changing the way one sees the world, one of the most profound lessons a human can learn, can be exemplified by something as mundane and seemingly inconsequential as a trip to the men’s room.

Last week, I spent an afternoon at an event, which required three visits to the venue’s men’s room. Without getting graphic, there were three stalls in this restroom. The stall in the corner and the stall closest to the door were functional, but the stall in the middle was adorned with an “Out of Order” sign.

Fall Fashion

By: Jesse Kader of Jesse’s Jewelz

Happy September!
Do I dare venture to say that we are thinking about fall clothes? I know it seems that sometimes fall takes longer to arrive in Texas (or Oklahoma) than anywhere else, but it will get here eventually, and we will be ready when it does. As we start switching out our closets and tucking away our summer looks, I urge you to keep an eye out for a few pieces that may be staples for the up and coming season. I feel this year will be a year of classic timeless looks. I see neutral colors being popular with soft color pallets. A great collared pinstripe button up will definitely be a necessity. Layered looks with sweatshirts and sweater vests are my current favorite for the classic cowgirl look. These pieces will allow you to make subtle statements.
