I really love sugar.
Ooooyeah. Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
When it comes to sweets, mozzarella-filled empanadas aren't the first things to pop into my mind, but my sweet tooth and I are always up for trying new desserts. But why am I randomly posting food porn?
Let me start from the very beginning-we came back from winter break. I didn't feel like teaching, and the kids didn't feel like learning. So we journaled about the food we ate over the holidays. 
Then the journaling took on a life of its own as the students voted to create a class cookbook in which every single student agreed to contribute his/her holiday dish recipe.
When I saw the finished product that was 100% their own creation, my heart burst with pride. So in my enamored state, I promised them that they could bring in their dishes on Friday, and we'd have a party.
And party we did. Never had I seen anything as vicious as a group of 35 seventh graders attacking 2 groaning tables full of food. The empanadas were the first to go, and I couldn't even get a taste of it. That is until my adorable student made another batch, brought it to school, and sprinkled my Monday with sweetness.
