Some St Patty’s Day Recipes
I just wanted to take a minute to share some of my favorite St Patty’s Day treats! I’m very excited about the holiday this year because Hubby and I will be participating in a huge Boston tradition this year. We’re going to the Southie parade. We have a friend who lives down there so we’ll have somewhere to hang out and the weather is supposed to be nice, so it’s going to be a great year to do this. I can’t wait. What is everyone else doing this weekend to celebrate?
Double Chocolate Brownie Roll Out Cookies
One Year Ago: Cranberry Apple Pie
Two Years Ago: Double Peanut Butter Cookies
Three Years Ago: Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Four Years Ago: Vegan Vanilla Raspberry Cupcakes
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Loving all of these!
I used Ghirardelli hot cocoa mix as a gift for co-workers last year, and gifted the homemade marshmallows along with it. Everyone loved them and was impressed that the marshmallows were made from scratch! It was a really great gift and one batch made enough marshmallows for us to have leftovers. This year I have a 10-month-old and didn’t plan my homemade gifts very well in advance, but am still going to attempt the Salted Caramel Sauce for a friend. I bought a big bottle of vodka and plan to start some homemade vanilla extract for birthday gifts next year! I’m also hoping to make the meat rub and BBQ sauce as Father’s Day gifts next year. Thanks for all the great ideas Jen!

I know what you mean about not being on the ball this year. I don’t have a kid and I didn’t get any gifts made in time. I might still whip up some of these though!
