PISTACHIO CHEESECAKE: HEAVEN IN A BITE
I have to admit it was love at first sight with this pistachio cheesecake.
The first time I saw it was on my friend Lisa’s popular Incredible Recipes page. My mouth started to water.
The original recipe comes from Lady Behind the Curtain. Not only is Sheryl a fantastic cook, but I absolutely love her blog for ideas for themed parties. She is a talented lady and I wish l lived close to her so I could get invited to one of her parties!
