You are 14% Irish (according to the printout I have) so enjoy St. Patty’s Day. And don’t forget the corned beef and cabbage! 🙂
These look incredible and making them at 10am would not have stopped me from taste testing them just a wee bit 🙂
St Paddy’s Day is a holiday I pretty much do nothing for and I really need to up my game. lol
