Banana Cream Pie is my favorite no-bake dessert.  It’s perfect anytime but I seem to make it most during the summer.  It’s a simple dessert to make yet it tastes like you’ve spent hours over the stove.  My recipe lets you cheat a bit in the preparation because I use a pre-made store bought pie crust and Cool-Whip topping but I do draw the line on instant pudding.  I find the taste and consistancy of cooked pudding far superior to instant and so I do take the extra time for that. 

You’ll find my complete recipe for Banana Cream Pie Here:  Easy Banana Cream Pie

After you’ve tasted it, please stop back and let me know what you think!

If you are on a gluten free diet have I found a treat for you!  This Brownies recipe is made with rice flour so there’s no worries and they taste great too!

Take a look this gluten free brownies recipe to see if you don’t agree.  The recipe is super simple to prepare and just 20 minutes later you’ll be in heaven enjoying the fudgey goodness of homemade brownies warm from the oven.

While visiting the Brownie recipe page be sure to weigh in on the “nuts or no nuts” brownie debate and don’t miss the super fudge brownies video.

Not on a gluten free diet?  There’s a link on the page where you’ll find 38 more delicious brownies recipes!  Enjoy!
