Happy Holidays everyone!
December often brings many opportunities to
gather with friends and family, however, that excitement also brings with it the question…. WHAT in the world will we eat?
To help answer that question, I am posting my
grandma Pee Wee’s famous pistachio pudding cake recipe. My grandmother was a baker in
the Navy during World War 2, her love of everything sweet, and savory was passed
down to her children and grandchildren. I remember crawling up on her red and
white patent leather chairs, peering over the edge of the table in hopes that she
might let me lick the spoon or better yet, the beater from the mixer!! The
smell of baked goodness would fill the house, I can almost taste it now. She
passed away many years ago, but her handwritten recipe cards are cherished among
the family. It is my hope that you will enjoy this yummy treat with your loved
ones as you celebrate friends and family!
