Throughout my life I’ve been a picky eater. I would rather eat the same thing for a month straight than to try something new. I’ve always thought it was a weird fear of mine, not enjoying new food. Banana pudding was one of those food I’ve always contemplating on trying. The thought of banana flavored food was odd but intriguing to me. I decided to try and make it on my own in hopes of enjoying it because of the enthusiasm people felt from Magnolia Bakery’s famous banana pudding. After making a huge batch, I decided to store some for my friends to try. After tasting the banana pudding, my attitude towards trying new things ultimately changed. My family and friends enjoyed my banana pudding despite being picky eaters as well. Seeing my friends and family devouring my food made me enjoying baking and cooking new recipes for them. This transformed my view and allowed me to expand my ideas of trying something new whether it is food or habits or hobbies.
I may have heard of banana cake and banana split, but I’ve never thought of making homemade banana pudding. This seems like a simple dish that doesn’t require much work and a very simple, but delicious dessert. I really like how Stephanie included how she was once a picky eater and this dish allowed her to change her ways of eating as well as her view. It allowed her to draw more connections with baking and enjoying it with her family and friends.
This is something that sounds very delicious and would probably try to make it soon or buy it to try it. I found it interesting how Stephanie was able to change her perception of trying new foods after trying banana pudding, because it allow her to try new things as well. The fact that her parents enjoyed it as well is very nice.
I have had the banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery and it is definitely one of my favorite treats that I have ever tried. I like how you described the instructions for the recipe, they are very useful for someone who is trying to re-create this recipe. I enjoyed reading about how you’re a picky eater and how you were able to change that by baking it yourself, it really added a lot to your recipe. This recipe is something that I would like to try to re-make in the future.
