| Our family favorite! |
Near the end of our vacation, we were so blessed to have my Grandmother and Aunt Gayle come for a visit and stay the night with us. They are both the salt of the earth, amazing ladies and I am so happy that we were able to spend time with them.
We were very spoiled when they arrived with not only their famous deviled eggs, an amazing marinated tri tip steak for dinner, and for dessert, "GGMa" delivered her awesome Angel Food Cake to share with us, complete with fresh strawberries and Cool Whip (which she knows, is a requirement to enjoy homemade angel food cake).
Grandma gave me her Angel Food Cake recipe over 20 years ago and who knows how many generations it goes back in her family. It is one of those tried and true recipes that continues to get passed down in families, just like her famous Snickerdoodle Recipe, that we continue to make and love.
Grandma truly has been and continues to be our Angel and we love her dearly.
