Hand pies have been on my list of foods to make for a while now. They are SO versatile, kids love eating anything they can hold (although Tess turned her nose up at the filling of these ?), and I just find them so appealing! These are a joint effort by my husband and I. … [Keep reading…]
When you see that artichokes are on sale at your local grocer, it’s impossible to leave them as far as I’m concerned.
