Lemonade Stand AwardI interrupt my (ir)regularly (un)scheduled posts to bring you this newsflash. Today we found a treasure, a true gem in the most unlikely of places.

365-23 Apple Pie
I wrote a post on these Apple Pies recently. They are great, and I just love knowing there’s a stack in the freezer for whenever I need some warm comfort food to get me through this long winter!
