Love this story Aimee. You really wrote this one straight from your heart…..
I loved his story, behind the recipe. It is, as you wrote, “bittersweet”. Thank you for sharing this recipe and story.
My Mom passed away Thanksgiving 2015 she loved to cook even had a bakery in our home for many years. This story brought back many memories. Thank you from my heart to yours.
This recipe is similar to my mother in laws. She, like Alice’s mother, loved to bake. She taught me to bake. We spend many days in the kitchen together. Her Whoopie Pie recipe is a favorite among her children, grandchildren and all who knew her. Thank you for sharing your story and bringing back memories for me.
Hello my fellow Peabodyite! Yes, I am from Peebiddy too, still live here, and have been looking for a whoopie pie recipe like my mother’s recipe. I think I’ve found it . . . thank you. Sadly, my wife has Alzheimer’s disease and was diagnosed at age 51. She is now 57 and it is such a horrible struggle. I like to bake and cook things that make her happy. I do believe these whoopie pies will do the trick!
