☘️ St. Patrick’s Day Treats + My New Chocolate Icebox Cake


Hi friends,

I hope March is treating you kindly so far. The weather had other plans here last night. We had quite the windstorm roll through, and it left a lot of downed trees and power lines around the area. Hopefully, things are a little calmer where you are, because this time of year can feel a bit unpredictable.

Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share a few festive favorites along with my newest dessert. This Chocolate Icebox Cake is cool, creamy, and wonderfully simple. It is the kind of easy dessert that is perfect when you want something sweet without turning on the oven.

Here is what I am sharing this week:

🍫 Chocolate Icebox Cake

🍰 Pistachio Bundt Cake

🍃 Grasshopper Pie

🍀 Irish Soda Bread

If you are planning anything fun for St. Patrick’s Day, these are a few easy recipes that help make it feel a little more festive. And if the weather is still acting like March usually does, at least there is dessert waiting in the kitchen.

Best,

Heidi (aka Lulu)

Hi friends, This weekend, my kitchen has been messy, full, and happy because I've been helping my kids bake for a live cake auction. There has been flour everywhere, lots of mixing bowls in the sink, and plenty of taste testing along the way. It reminded me how fun it is when the kitchen is buzzing with activity. Easter is just about three weeks away, which makes this a great time to start thinking about the side dishes you want on your table. A little planning now makes the holiday so much...
