Palmiers
Palmiers are also called pig ears, palm heart or even elephant ear. It’s a french pastry made from puff pastry, rolled in such a way that it’s shaped like a palm leaf. Since it’s Palm Sunday today, we thought we’d make these scrumptious cookies. To make palmiers, we are going to make puff pastry. You…

This is a really good meal and now that I’ve made it, I would change it up a bit. These pizza meatloaves are delicious but taste more like spaghetti and meatballs than pizza! Adding bell pepper to…
