10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 2: Cinnamon Dulce de Leche
I used to think March was such a blah month. Aside from St. Patrick’s Day, there just wasn’t much going on, and it’s such a very, extremely, annoyingly long month in my spring semester on the school calendar, not to mention we lose an hour of sleep. But when I started making hamantashen a few […]
