MUCH OF IT COMES NICELY PRE-PACKAGED.

Okay, this one particular recipe is especially for all my friends who think this dish is magical. Forgive me, but itā€™s not šŸ™‚ At all. I was so embarrassed for years to share this recipe, because itā€™s way too simple. So easy it almost feels like cheatingā€¦ Especially, when almost all the ingredients come ā€œpre-packaged.ā€ Yep, weā€™re talking canned and boxed ingredients. Ughā€¦

CAN’T STOP THE NAUGHTINESS.

Okay, to be totally ā€˜transparentā€™ with you guys, Iā€™m making these bars because:

1. Weā€™re invited to a Christmas Eve eve party tonight

2. I donā€™t have that much time on my hands right now

3. Itā€™s somewhat safe: adult and children will love it. Except for those who have nut

allergies (I guess itā€™s not that safe after all)

4. I have all the ingredients in my pantry AND fridge

5. It looks and tastes fantastic!

I KNEW IT… YOU MISSED BEING NAUGHTY.

Guys, over the years, I’ve ā€™collectedā€™ a good amount of Weck jars. Theyā€™re ohmygosh so adorable! I love love love them! I have them in different shapes and sizes. Theyā€™re totally versatile, cute to boot, and completely reliable. Theyā€™re likeā€¦ wellā€¦ my PIE (Partner In Everything,) Eric. Iā€™m sure heā€™s so smiling right now as he reads ALL my posts. Well, what can I say heā€™s sort of my editor, you know šŸ™‚

IT CAN BE LESS PERFECT.

I have to be totally honest with you friends, Iā€™m EXHAUSTED. Itā€™s almost Christmas, and here I am with a mountain of tasks Iā€™ve generously given myself to complete. I set a few goals that Iā€™m not even sure I can reach. Have you ever felt like youā€™re simply ā€˜doneā€™? Isnā€™t a Christmas break supposed to be time to reflect, recharge, refocus, and reboot?

DEFINITELY NICE AND DELICIOUS!

Last summer, Nateā€™s buddy Scott was raving about the Chicken Roti he had on his trip to St. Johnā€™s, USVI. Well first of all, lucky kid! How awesome is that to have a trip to the Caribbean? But secondly, finding a resto serving West Indian dishes. One word: Curry. I love love love curries!

COME IN SANTA, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE.

Goodnessā€¦ Do you realize there are only 2 more weeks to Christmas? Unreal! This year has gone by so very fast! I went out with a friend last night to do much needed shopping (well, I lied, letā€™s say much wanted shopping, instead šŸ˜‰ And ahā€¦ all the bright red color accents everywhere. Gorgeous! Red tableware, bakeware, aprons, small appliances, pots and pansā€¦ All of them yell, ā€œTake me home with you.ā€ All right, all right, I hangout at a cooking shop, yet again šŸ˜€ I thought I already have most of whatā€™s in there, but no, I managed to come home with more items. Classic Fedra.
