Banana Salad...

Banana salad is a family favorite around here.  I buy bananas almost every time I go to the store and while  the girls and I eat a lot of bananas, there are usually a couple that start to get a little too ripe for our liking.  This is the perfect recipe for those mushy bananas because you can only make and eat so much banana bread.

 The recipe came from Brad's mom and it is one that he remembers from his childhood.  You know you better make it when he asks for and writes the recipe himself!

First whisk together the egg, sugar, flour, salt, vinegar and water... 

Cook the mixture until thickened then stir in the butter until melted... 

Allow the mixture to cool then stir in the cool whip and bananas.  Yum!
