I thought,” you know? This has been a good week. I love y’all a ton. Y’all deserve TWO snack recipes. Y’all deserve my poptart recipe.”
Get in my mouth, heavenly beings.
In grad school, there was this amazing bakery that had homemade poptarts sometimes, and whoa, were they good. I would buy all of them when they made those. When I moved away, I just figured out what to do. You can make any kind of poptart your little heart desires. Look after the jump for the starting point.

Again, with these kinda brutal weeks. Is Mercury in retrograde or something?
Joking. Not joking. Totally kidding. But really. What. Is. The. Deal.
I feel I’ve earned a glass or three of the 2011 La Fiera Montepulciano D’Abruzzo. You have, too.
Bonus: You get to look at my Junior League cookbooks.
So, it’s my impression that Abruzzo, a region of Italy, is known for producing cheap wines. The quality has dramatically improved over the last ten years, but the prices remain the same, so “d’Abruzzo” is a good code word for “not at all bad for rock-bottom prices.” For $7.50, I walked out of my new favorite wineshop, Greenhaus, with a new lease on life. It does every last thing you want your table wine to do:
Check, check, check, and check. This is a light-bodied, warm, fruity, big wine that doesn’t waste a lot of time with subtly. The sour cherries are right out there in front, and you know what? I like that. This isn’t the fanciest wine, but it’s the best thing ever for a weeknight dinner.
And you can drink the whole bottle and be out less than the cost of a draft beer at some of the nicer places.
