Story telling, snuggling in blankets, singing songs and roasting marshmallows for S’Mores seem to be recurring favorites. Here’s the How To: Thaw out a box of Puff Pastry, and cut along the fold lines to make 6 large rectangles.

Zesty had a baby shower to attend and she was designated for a dessert/sweet treat for the girls.
