Happy National Cherry Turnover Day. I have to say that I think I may have resorted to Plan about F to make today's cherry turnovers. Three grocery stores turned up no fresh cherries this week, believe it or not. I thought Michigan was supposed to be done of the largest cherry producing states in the nation, what gives?!?! So my original plan to make some delicious turnovers with fresh cherries was a flop. So was my desire to make fresh pastry crust, then. It is ridiculously humid here today and I did not enjoy the thought of attempting to nicely roll out pastry dough to make turnovers without it sticking to everything in sight.
So...
I cheated.
I used cherry pie filling. And pre-made crescent rolls. Total cheat, but cherry turnovers none the less. Honestly, frustrated as I was about the problems I kept running into, it's a wonder I didn't just go out and buy a box of cherry pop-tarts and call it a day. Regardless, everyone here loved them. I wish I had gotten a picture of Mikayla post-cherry turnover...
The big Meet the Teacher and Popsicle Party is at school tomorrow for Noah, so we're all gearing up for that. It's also my big first PTA event. And we're going to be celebrating chop suey. And lemon juice. Odd, I know, but so what else is new around here ;-) Until then...

Kinda love his picture :)
Not pretty, but cherry turnovers none the less (complete with a powdered sugar glaze)
