Melamine Plates
“They’re not paper!”
With the look of paper plates, these whimsical melamine plates have been flying off the shelves since we got them in. These quality pieces are dishwasher safe, and McDonald Garden Center has the highly sought-after patterns that are selling out online and at other retailers. Keep in mind, we can’t guarantee your favorites will be there - so shop it like it’s hot! Starting at $19.99

Choux pastry, also called pâte à choux ('pot-ah-SHOO'), is a light pastry dough used to make dumplings, éclairs, cream puffs, beignets and a number of other ethereal French pastries. While puff pastry calls for tiring amounts of rolling, the consistency of choux lends itself to amenable malleable manipulation. So “rise” to the occasion and follow this easy recipe by our very own Chef Manu for pâte à choux.
