With so many fun “holidays” to celebrate throughout the year, keeping up with them can be a chore! Lucky for us, this week’s celebrations go hand-in-hand…or, maybe nut-in-batter? In observance of National Pancake Day (2/21) and National Pistachio Day (2/26), we get in the spirit with this scrumptious pistachio pancake recipe. Ask your Seniors Helping Seniors® caregiver to assist and give this one a try!
