We are lucky to have our manager, April, for many reasons and one of them is that she is a phenomenal cook. On our birthdays she bakes our favorites, and she often surprises us with treats just because. Yeah we know, she's awesome.
This will be the first of a new series of blog posts were we will share April's favorite recipes! This one is special because she picked and pitted all the cherries from her own backyard. A true chef!
