Magnolia Bakery’s Banana Pudding Recipe • 4★
To many, the banana pudding at the famed New York shop Magnolia Bakery is even more iconic than the store’s beloved cupcakes. Airy, creamy and delightfully reminiscent of childhood packaged snacks (thanks to instant vanilla pudding mix), this dessert is both a crowd pleaser and easy to assemble.

It’s impossible to calculate how much of what I’ve been able to accomplish is because of women like Gloria Steinem. Rest in power. www.npr.org/2026/09/03/n...

At a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom.

We just sued the Trump administration seeking records on a decision that would revoke vessel speed restrictions on the Atlantic coast that protect whales, including critically #endangered North Atlantic right #whales, from deadly ship strikes. Only around 380 right whales remain.
Aerial picture of two North Atlantic Right whales swimming through calm, dark blue water. White text in a black textbox over the bottom of the image reads: "“The public has a right to know who’s behind a government process that could condemn these whales to extinction.” This is a press release quote from Kristen Monsell, our oceans legal director.
