So I donned my polka-dot apron, searched through the cupboards for the ingredients and tottered about the kitchen in my Betty Draper-esque way.

The best thing about this recipe is it’s super easy! And you probably have most of the ingredients already in the house. It takes about 15 minutes to prep and 20-25 minutes to bake…so for you fellow novice bakers, this one will impress!Continue reading
