Stella Seymour, hairdstylist and entrepreneur in the book -- Scandal in Bluebonnet Hill: Stella Seymour Breaks her Silence, owns an exclusive salon in a small Texas community. Career driven, there is little time for Suzy Homemaker type activities. Especially since she nearly destroyed her house in a cake bake burnout. Nuff said. Aside from creating fabulous hair, there is one skill she’s mastered in the kitchen besides ordering take out. Without fail, she makes a killer batch of Baby Ruth cookies! In today’s high-tech, hurry-up world, her latest love interest, a well-known, wealthy bachelor, a man who lacks for nothing, wouldn’t mind meeting a woman who doesn’t think staying home equals a jail sentence. A woman with whom he shares common interests. A woman who could bake . . . well . . . cookies. Okay, one out of three ain’t bad!
Bon Appetit!

TESSA LOMBARDI’S TEMPTING TEXAS BANANA PUDDINGPreheat oven 425 degress and let’s get this party started!
Mix butter, sugar, flour, milk, egg yolks, and salt into stainless steel pan. Place on medium heat. Whisk while heating custard -- approximately 10 minutes. When custard is close, line casserole dish with layer of vanilla wafers, then layer of cut-up-in-circles bananas. Go back to custard on stove and stir. When it’s thick and clinging to whisk -- sign that it’s ready -- remove from heat. Continue to stir a bit more, then add vanilla. Pour ½ custard over wafers and bananas. Spread. Add another layer of wafers and bananas. Pour remaining custard across top. Time to whip up topping. Take egg whites and whip on high until thickens and forms meringue. Slowly add in 1/4 cup sugar. It’s ready when a peak forms on whisk when lifted. Layer over casserole mix. Slide in oven and stay with it -- don’t run off. Cook for 4-4 ½ minutes--slightly golden topping. Remove. Dish is ready and mouth-watering! Your friends and family will beg for this every time. There is a pudding BOX method, and Tessa has used it before, but shhh, don’t tell anyone . . . Bon Appetit!
