Day 1: Paula Deen's Banana Pudding Pie and Cake Balls

So today I was feeling quite inspired and hyper and when this happens I start-a-bakin'! I bought a holiday baking magazine during the holidays last year and kept telling myself I would bake every recipe in it and have yet to do so. I found the magazine while moving into a new place and thought what a great way to end the summer...starting a blog and sharing all of my goodies with you all! 

I made Paula Deen's yummy Banana Pudding Pie and also "cake balls" that are a new popular and easy way to make eating cake a little more...attractive?...for lack of a better word.

Here are the two fun and simple recipes: 

Banana Pudding Pie

Graham Cracker Crust  

Vanilla instant pudding mix, heavy whipping cream, confectioners sugar and sour cream filling

Thinly sliced bananas

Pie topped with the banana slices

Cool whip topping

oohh ahh...pretty...but forgot something...

...Nilla Wafer Garnish! Yummm...

I'll post pictures of the finished cake balls tomorrow and recipes!!...stay tuned! :)
