Lucky Link Up!

It's been so much fun having a Secret Santa and Valentine's Day blog swap with a bunch of my favorite mama bloggers and so we tried to think of a way to spread the cheer by hosting a link-up everyone could participate inand it' s yummy one!

So today we bring you the Lucky Link Up!  Each one of us is sharing a St. Patrick's Day themed recipe and we are including a link a up below for anyone who'd like to join in!  Just post your recipe to your blog and link up by next Monday, March 10th.  Entries will close and everyone will be matched up to make another blogger's recipe and we'll all share how it goes down - the good, the bad, the pinterest-worthy on St. Patrick's Day (Monday, March 17th).

We are looking forward to seeing all the yummy treats and how other bloggers make edits to fit their the dietary needs.  Perhaps you are dairy free, don't use food coloring, or have trouble finding an ingredient at your local market, still try your best to make any edits needed to make it your own and of course we'll all link back to our match ups so everyone can (blog) hop along and see all the different versions!

We hope you are as excited about this link up as we are!

Now, as you know, I'm no cook and certainly don't make anything pinterest-worthy in the kitchen (well, except maybe my awesome peach basil summer salad) so with my sweet tooth guiding the way, of course I went with Lucky Charms marshmallow squares! 

I absolutely LOVED making Rice Crispy Treats with my mom as a kid.I loved melting the marshmallows and mixing everything together. I could hardly wait for them to set before I wanted to dig in and have one! 

Below is the recipe I used, from food.com. And this lovely photo you see is from the blog Sweet C's Designs. You can view her tutorial here.
