Banana pudding? Pass the spoon, please.

This summer, take a cue from Blair Lonergan of The Seasoned Mom food blog and whip up a batch of her divine banana pudding, which she calls "a go-to dessert in the south for summer picnics, potlucks and get-togethers." 

As Lonergan notes, this recipe is the easiest way she has found to "satisfy that craving for a cool, creamy treat using store-bought ingredients you can whip up in just a few minutes."
