Instant Vanilla pudding

1. Make the pudding as per package instructions but add extra vanilla and set aside. You can make this the night before so it has plenty of time set up in the fridge.

‍

Whipped cream

1. Place cream in a mixing bowl with sugar and vanilla. Whip until almost stiff peak
2. Fold ½ of whipped cream into pudding.

‍

Bananas Foster

1. Place butter in a sauté pan and melt.
2. Add sugar and let melt and cook until starting to caramelize and get thick.
3. Remove from the stove top away from flame and add brandy or rum. It will sizzle up, that is okay. Swirl the pan around.
4. Add vanilla and cinnamon.
5. Peel and cut bananas and add to the pan. You do not want to let them sit too long in the sauce and cook. The starch in the bananas will soak up the sauce. Remove from heat.

Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine the peanut butter, butte , salt, and brown sugar. Mix for two minutes until soft and light.
3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
4. Combine the flour and baking soda and fold into the peanut butter.
5. Using a large ice cream scooper, scoop out dough making sure to tightly pack it.
6. Roll the dough in the sugar and place on a lined sheet pan. Now take a clean fork and lightly press into dough and then again across the first, this will create the checkered pattern we associate on top of peanut butter cookies.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven. You will see them puff up a little when done.
