Holidays
were a veritable feast around our house growing up. There were a few dishes you could always
count on being served. We never grew
tired of some of these simple recipes and I hope future generations will love
them too!!
This
particular recipe was one of my Mom’s 'go to', recipes for every event. She was extremely picky about the
cookies. We always had to use Hydrox,
NEVER Oreo. Always Nilla Wafers by Nabisco and never the ‘other’ brand.
I must
admit, I have lived in some places that just didn’t carry the ‘must’ have
brands and I have had to resort to using the taboo ingredients.
I am pretty
certain no one noticed and it all came out delicious….sorry Mom…
Ingredients-
1 pkg Hydrox chocolate cream filled cookies (Oreos)
1 Box Nilla
wafers (Vanilla Wafers)
2 small
bananas, peeled and sliced in to ¼ inch slices
1 small
carton cool whip
1 small jar
maraschino cherries
1 cup pecan
halves
Grind in a
grinder or food processor both packages of cookies, mix together and press into
a 9” x 11” casserole dish.
Add sliced
bananas, cover entire cookie surface
Spread cool
whip on top
Cut Cherries
in half and alternate cherry halves and pecans in rows 1” apart down the length
of the dish this should give you roughly 3 long rows.
Refrigerate
overnight-
