What do you do post St. Patty’s Day? Well, the luck should not stop the minute the drinking, eating and partying are over, right? Not for me at least 🙂 I got the chance to come over to my friend Lisa’s house. You guessed it, … for more food and laughter. How great was that?

INCREDIBLY GLUTEN FREE

Here it is again. This time of year, we’re bombarded with all Valentine’s day marketing for everything! From romantic gifts to I love you so much I’ll let you put on weight kinda presents. Yep, those kind. So cruel. We’re talking about our struggle in losing those 10 pounds we’ve collected over the holidays. Heart shaped chocolates, cakes, cookies. Cookies? Oh, yum! I don’t mind putting on some weight 😉

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 it’s not 🙂 At all. I was so embarrassed for years to share this recipe, because it’s way too simple. So easy it almost feels like cheating… Especially, when almost all the ingredients come “pre-packaged.” Yep, we’re talking canned and boxed ingredients. Ugh…

CAN’T STOP THE NAUGHTINESS.

Okay, to be totally ‘transparent’ with you guys, I’m making these bars because:

1. We’re invited to a Christmas Eve eve party tonight

2. I don’t have that much time on my hands right now

3. It’s somewhat safe: adult and children will love it. Except for those who have nut

allergies (I guess it’s not that safe after all)

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

5. It looks and tastes fantastic!

Guys, over the years, I’ve ’collected’ a good amount of Weck jars. They’re ohmygosh so adorable! I love love love them! I have them in different shapes and sizes. They’re totally versatile, cute to boot, and completely reliable. They’re like… well… my PIE (Partner In Everything,) Eric. I’m sure he’s so smiling right now as he reads ALL my posts. Well, what can I say he’s sort of my editor, you know 🙂
