St. Patty's Day...

It's like I turn around 

and there is a holiday right there..

or decorate.. 

but I do have ideas!

My plans are to make 

oreo truffles.. 

seen here on bakerella.. 

with green mint oreos 

I am very excited!

But I just couldn't resist 

sharing these green beer cookies that I saw

on Save the Date for Cupcakes.. 

I won't be making them.. 

but they are just the most awesome things ever!

St. Patty's Day Print...

Need a cute easy decoration for 

St. Patty's... 

I love this free printable 

from Poppies at Play... 

Just print this sucker out.. 

and grab a cute frame from the dollar store

Happy Monday!

Going Green...

I have a special place in my heart 

for St. Patty's Day...

and it's well on it's way.. 

Here are a few things that I want to try

this year...

All found from fabulous Martha.. 

Lime squares with Pistachio

graham-cracker crust.. 

yummm

Simple and cute cupcakes... 

A stout float... 

Maybe something a little hearty...

like cheddar topped shepherds pie...

I think this year I need to actually pick

the things to make our family traditions.. 

I think that I will try a few things 

then pick the best!

Happy St. Patty's..

Hope that everyone's St. Patty's was spectacular.. 

mine has been excellent so far.. with the wondrous smells of cornbeef and cabbage drifting through the house.. drinks.. and chocolate covered pretzels.. What?!  chocolate covered pretzels.. tell me more..
So for treats this year my friend and I made chocolate covered pretzels.. and they turned out..
Well.. amazing... just take a look..

Some of the tools..

Mmmm.. peanut-butter and chocolate.. 

now that's beautiful..

And some cute packaging to put it 

all together...

Hope that your St. Patty's was just amazing.. 

and that no one got pinched!
