Mini Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Last week, I made the mistake of buying too many bananas at the grocery store. I thought I could make something delicious besides eating them, adding them to a smoothie, or making Mama Sassy's Banana Bread. Why not banana cream pie? I love the creamy texture and sweet flavor of banana cream pie. The smooth custard filling and graham cracker crust make it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Every bite is like a burst of tropical goodness with the ripe bananas and whipped cream topping. It's definitely one of my all-time favorite pies.

You can make an easy mini banana cream pie with the following ingredients:

This recipe will fill 6 of the mini graham cracker pie shells perfectly.

INGREDIENTS

• Keeber Graham Cracker RTE Mini Pie Crust 6ct
• Jell-O Banana Cream Instant Pudding Mix & Pie Filling, 3.4 oz. Box
• 1-2 Bananas
• 2 cups Milk (pictured is lactose-free because we have a couple of people in our household who are lactose intolerant)
• Whipped cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make pudding according to the directions on the box.
   
   
   
2.  Slice up the bananas and add some of them to pie shells. Leave the rest for the top.
   
   
   
3. Pour pie filling over the bananas. 
   
   
   
4. Once the pies have set up in the refrigerator, and when ready to serve, spread the whipped cream over the pie filling, and top with a couple of banana slices.
   
   
   

To Store Cream Pies

It tastes best when served chilled, refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours uncovered before serving without the whipped cream! The whipped cream will break down and just melt away. If storing longer than 4 hours, lightly cover with plastic wrap.

• Refrigerator: You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days; if you keep it too long, the bananas may get a bit weepy, but it’ll still taste great!

Are you a banana cream pie lover? Do you have a recipe to share? We'd love to hear from you in the comments.

Keep it sassy,

Kelly

Bread Machine Raisin Bread Recipe

Every November, National Raisin Bread Month is celebrated across the country. Raisins are dried grapes that are used to add flavor and sweetness to many different types of breads. Raisin bread is one of the most popular and recognizable types of bread and it's enjoyed by people of all ages for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Raisin bread is a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It's also low in fat and cholesterol, making it a healthier alternative to other types of bread. The sweet and chewy texture of raisins makes it a great addition to any meal. Raisin bread is also a great way to get kids to enjoy eating more whole grains. Raisin bread can be used in a variety of recipes, from sweet to savory. It makes a great sandwich bread, can be used for French toast, or served with cheese and crackers for a quick snack. During National Raisin Bread Month, why not take some time to explore new recipes and enjoy the sweet, chewy taste of raisins in your favorite breads.

Here's my favorite raisin bread recipe using a bread machine...

Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche Recipe Review

 

Do you get sick of eating the same old thing for dinner? I surely do. As I was looking in the frig for some dinner inspiration, I found I had some leftover broccoli and some eggs. So I thought maybe Quiche would do the trick.

I went to the trusty interweb and there were lots of recipes and they looked good, but I didn't have all the ingredients on hand.  Plus, I wanted a crustless recipe since my husband is trying not to eat so much gluten.  I came across this recipe, Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche.  This recipe makes the quiche high protein and low carb.  If you are watching your sugars, as I am, that is exactly what you need to eat.

Amazingly I had all the ingredients. 

That narrowed down how I choose the recipe.  I did add a bit of onion which was not on the list.   Since my broccoli was fresh, I put a little butter, chopped onion, and the broccoli in a pan and cooked it until the broccoli was cooked a little.  I also added a little pepper too and used some whole milk. 

Otherwise, I followed the instructions. It was easy to make.

Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche

Prep Time5 mins

Cook Time1 hr 10 mins

Total Time1 hr 15 mins

Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients

• 1 lb. frozen broccoli florets
• 4 oz. bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/4 tsp seasoning salt*
• 4 oz. shredded medium cheddar, divided

Instructions

• Take the broccoli florets out of the freezer so they can begin to thaw. Place the bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat until very brown and crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and pour off most of the grease from the skillet.
• Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high and add the broccoli florets. Sauté them in the residual bacon grease until they are no longer frozen. Transfer the broccoli to a cutting board. Roughly chop the florets into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
• Begin preheating the oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, and seasoning salt.
• Coat a 9-inch pie plate in non-stick spray (or butter, if you prefer). Place the chopped broccoli in the dish along with half of the shredded cheddar. Crumble the bacon over top. Stir the broccoli, cheddar, and bacon together.
• Place the pie plate on a baking sheet for easy transport in and out of the oven. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bacon, broccoli, and cheddar into the dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar.
• Bake the crustless quiche for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is puffed and it is golden brown around the edges. Let the crustless quiche cool slightly before slicing it into eight pieces and serving.

My husband loved it.  It was enough for us to have two dinners. I thought it turned out well and I would make it again.

Do you make quiche?  If so, do you use a crust or not?

Carbquik Biscuits Recipe Review with Kayla

We have Kayla, as our guest writer this week, giving her review of a biscuit recipe using Carbquik. 

Sometimes I get a craving for bread and butter. While butter is low-carb, the bread usually isn’t. When I found Carbquik, I just knew I had to give it a try. Carbquik is not considered clean keto, but it’s perfect for low-carb and lazy keto diets.

I’ve never made proper biscuits, only drop biscuits, and these are a good compromise between drop and cut biscuits. They mix up quickly with the help of a food processor and just need to be formed in your hands.

 

My biscuits were a bit crumbly, which is probably an indication that I should’ve added more heavy cream, but they browned beautifully and had a decent texture. Warm, with a pat of butter, they were pretty good.

 

I will have to do some experimentation to get the perfect biscuits, but this recipe was a good starting point. I made 6 instead of 8 and baked them in the convection oven for 8 minutes.

 

Overall, 3.5 stars

Does anyone have any good tips on how to make biscuits light and fluffy but not crumbly? We'd love to hear from you, comment below.

Thanks, Kayla for a great review!!
