Boston Cream Pie
When I was younger, every time I went to visit my Grandma Smith, we would make a Boston Cream Pie. I can’t believe there isn’t a legit Boston Cream Pie on my blog already. My niece and her fiancee came over last night for dinner so I made this beauty for dessert. It was divine and made me think about my grandma.
