Just Peachy Pops
By Kelly Bogard
I love making treats for Butters. As we get closer to summer, I was looking for something to make for her – something that would not only fulfill her sweet tooth, but also not make her bounce off the walls like the average four-year old does when something fun is coming soon. Unfortunately, to go along with the fun is the Texas heat. So what could I do to make the unofficial start of summer fun? How about a peach popsicle?

Some of you may know and others may not, but we have a special arrival coming this week. Well, not us, but a very important member of our staff. Amanda Hill and her husband, Erik, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first baby. By the time you read this, they probably will be holding their bouncing baby boy for the first time, and we are all so very excited for them.

I have strawberries running through my mind right now. I get so excited when I see those little red beauties show up in the produce section of the grocery store. I know that means summer is coming. And even though the Texas weather has been a bit unpredictable this week, I still can’t get those strawberries out of my head.
Another thing that makes me think of strawberries is the Poteet Strawberry Festival, and it just happens to be going on right now. For more than 60 years, the people of Poteet, Texas, have been sharing and celebrating their amazing strawberry crops with visitors near and far. Poteet is even recognized as the “Strawberry Capital of Texas.”

By Kelly Bogard
It’s finally here! We are getting our daylight back. Some people dread losing an hour of sleep this time of year, but I get so excited about it. The trade off to get the extra hour of sunshine is so worth it—in my opinion. It gives us extra time to work in the yard, fly a kite, take our kids to the park and just enjoy spring.
I love when we spring forward. I also am a big fan of Spring Rolls. So this week, I decided that I would take a turn from the traditional Spring Roll and make something to celebrate the extra hour of daylight we get starting on Sunday. And you all know how much I like breakfast.
