There are so many delicious sugary snacks to write about but today I am choosing a very simple one. Whoopie Pies. My Grandma used to make these, along with pies, bars, cakes and cookies, and they were quite a special treat.
Grandma Hall is the one who opened my heart to food and baking - there wasn't a day that went by when she wasn't making something tasty to have on-hand when friends or family came to the house. And by family I don't mean just a couple of kids and grandchildren, I mean 9 of her own kids each with a spouse and 20 grandchildren. Later, we added another 19 great-grandchildren to the mix - with more to come.
From an early age I spent summers in the kitchen with my Grandma who taught me all the tricks to creating delicious meals and desserts, from scratch. She encouraged me to try recipes myself, using real butter and whole milk. I spent hours of my own time making the recipes because I never thought they were as good as hers, my dad disagreed though - he enjoyed eating everything :o)
So today we let our mouths water a little as a tribute to Grandma Hall and her amazing desserts, especially the easy to make and eat Whoopie Pies. For recipe click here, for dozens of mix and match Whoopie Pie flavors order this book by Sarah Billingsley & Amy Treadwell. ENJOY and go give your grandmother a big hug!
