Easy Homemade Frosted Pop Tarts

I loved Pop Tarts as a kid, especially in my summer camp days. This recipe is super easy because you use store-bought puff pastry instead of making a pie dough. The pop-tarts come together in less than 30 minutes and the results are yummy! You can use cinnamon-brown-sugar filling, your favourite jam or even Nutella. Make sure to coordinate the frosting to your filling! And don’t forget to defrost the puff pastry overnight (or all day) in the fridge. Note: Puff pastry warms up very quickly (and you don’t want that), so keep putting it in the fridge every step of the way. Makes 6 pop tarts.

Polenta is so easy to make but feel free to purchase a package of polenta. This is a delicious appetizer served alongside a light arugula salad or as a stand-alone vegetarian dinner.

Fresh Berry Hand Pies

A portable pie! Yes! This single serving pie is every bit as delicious as a full size pie, except it is all yours! Double layer just means no more fitting for who gets those edge pieces, you’ve got all four sides! In the cooler months, you can swap the berries for thinly sliced apples.
