Here’s a taste of what’s inside:

• Luke’s Cherry Danish
• Mrs. Kim’s Eggless Egg Salad from the Dance Marathon
• Taylor’s Butter Brickle Crunch Ice Cream
• Tacos, burritos, tacquitos, and quesadillas
• Jackson’s Raspberry Peach Jam

TARTS, PASTRIES & JAMS

HOMEMADE POP-TARTS®

If coffee is the soul of Gilmore girls, then Pop-Tarts are their hearts. Pop-Tarts are one of the most iconic foods in Gilmore world, and we’re very excited to include this recipe in the second Eat Like a Gilmore cookbook. These Homemade Pop-Tarts are so yummy, they may redefine your entire existence, just like they did for Lorelai. The very first time she tasted a Pop-Tart it changed her whole outlook on life and inspired her to be the Lorelai Gilmore we all know and love. And if you find yourself in need of a pregnancy test, throw some Pop-Tarts on a plate with an apple in the middle and see which one you crave. If it is the apple, you may have your very own Rory in the oven. But if a Pop-Tart calls to you, it’s just a normal day in the life of a Gilmore Girl.
