Strawberry Nutella Pop-tarts

This past weekend was a bit chilly and slightly gloomy.  I’ve been having a hard time trying to gauge the weather as it has been a roller coaster this whole month of April.  Our house was oddly chilly and it was lacking the warmth that normally radiates from our kitchen.  I found a great recipe for homemade pop-tarts and I was on a mission to bring the homeyness back into our home.  Pop-tarts are a pretty neat thing.  They are these little pastry-like breakfast treats with yummy gooey filling.  As the pop-tarts began to turn golden brown in the oven, and they emitted a decadent aroma, it began to feel more like home.
