I love miso soup but always wished that they gave larger size tofu pieces in the miso soups I've purchased in restaurants/stores. Now I can control the size of tofu I like in my miso soup, yay! Btw, I used firm tofu. I added spinach to my soup and it was yummy. Tasted just like the miso soup you get at restaurants. This really is a versatile recipe and I plan on trying different ingredients next time. My 3 yr old gobbled this up and left me with just a small bowl to bring to work the next day for lunch, lol! I will be doubling this recipe in the future! Thanks for the great recipe :)

Unfortunately, this pie didn't turn out very well for me. First, I used one of the reviewer's suggestion and made a vanilla wafer crust. I must have made it too thick or over-baked the crust (prob more so the latter) because we couldn't cut through it. In my opinion the pudding/filling was too vanilla-y tasting. I would have preferred banana pudding. Next time I would try to find banana extract and use that instead. Also, my pudding was on the thick side. A bit too thick for my preference. I also thought this was way too sweet. Obviously I did something wrong because I'm in the minority here! I was so disappointed because I LOVE banana cream pie. It's one of my favorite desserts. The BEST banana cream pie I ever had was at Angelo's bakery on 86th Street in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. I was never allowed at any family parties unless I brought that pie with me, LOL! So sad that bakery is now closed... If I find banana extract, I will try this recipe again!

I made this cake yesterday and it is so easy to put together. I thought it could've been a little more flavorful. I used strawberry gelatin and I was really hoping to taste more of the strawberry gelatin but I have to say it is a very moist cake and it does look pretty! I also like the fact that it's a refrigerated box cake so it's nice and cold on a hot summer day. My family enjoyed it. Next time maybe I'll reduce the water a little bit to make the gelatin flavor more concentrated. Thanks for the great and easy recipe!!
