It does not have to be pistachios. I have used pecans and almonds, but I think it was better with the pistachios.

Lil bit,,,just got the ingred. yesterday, can't wait! since I've downsized, needed to get TWO loaf pans so got the foil ones,,,,hope they work as well. This sounds so familiar,,,wonder if you'd posted it before long ago. I love your recipie and have quite the collection from you. I'm also a cookbook 'hoarder' and had to let lots go when I downsized (ugly word to me).usually had pistachios on hand, but gonna try it with pecans/walnut mixture,,,it'll still be good, I'm sure. thanks for you MOST WONDERFUL recipies!

I made it yesterday & used chopped pecans because that's what I had in the freezer. It is wonderful.

Lilbitmisty:

This recipe sounds awesome and I love anything pistachio!

Do I use a small box or large box of pistachio pudding mix? This sounds like something right up my alley and would have also been a cute idea for St. Patrick's Day. I could still also make it for Easter too! Or just because it is Tuesday!

Thank you for this recipe!

Hi ripkenfan, I don't know what LBM uses but I made the pistachio bread from her recipe yesterday & used a small box of pudding because that's what I had. It had nice pistachio flavor without being "too much".

Thanks ChiliPepper. I only had a small box in my cabinet and wondered if that would be enough pistachio flavor. I'm going to try it with the small box.

Me either! I can't wait to try this! @ChiliPepper and I both have new fancy loaf pans! LOL We are loving these recipes!

@LilBitMissty

Some of the ladies were asking on the Pistachio Bread....do you use the small box of instant pudding?

I LOVE no mixer! One less thing to wash! LOL
Dusting w/ cin & sugar is brilliant!!

Lil, you warm my heart! Please don't ever leave us!!

Dear LilBitMissty,

I saw some other friends praising this recipe and I was thrilled to find your post. It sounds delish. I particularly like that I can make it quickly with things I can keep on hand in the frig and pantry. It is great to have stuff around that I can whip up at a moments notice.

What a delight it has been to find you and to come across your recipes. You really are an excellent cook. Thanks so much for taking the time to post your recipes for us. YOU ARE THE BEST!
