So, I’m flipping through my new issue of Bon Appetit magazine this week and I come across a recipe that I had to make. Homemade “Pop-tarts”. I love a good pop-tart. A cherry iced pop-tart ranks right up there with a really great steak, in my book. Ok, maybe not that high, but I do…
sure sign of spring & something green
I found the healthiest and heartiest looking asparagus at the grocery yesterday. A sure sign that winter’s on its way out and spring is arriving.

It’s nice that they’re right next to each other on the Tallmadge Circle. We’re heading up to Lakewood later today for lunch at Melt. It’s one of Greg’s favorite places to eat…
