Hey Guys,
I was browsing the Internet and I came across this recipe for a fun St Patrick’s Day dessert, by the blog Lovelyindeed. Since it called for my FAVORITE childhood cereal, I was pumped. However, the sad part is I ate the first box I bought and had to repurchase it (oops, my bad). Anyways, let's get on to all the fun stuff.
You will need:
1 large box of Lucky Charms
3 cups of mini marshmallows
3 tablespoons of butter (plus enough to grease the pan)
You will need:
1 large box of Lucky Charms
3 cups of mini marshmallows
3 tablespoons of butter (plus enough to grease the pan)
Directions:
1. Separate the marshmallows from the cereal. This step is totally optional but, in my opinion, it’s half the fun. Grease a 9 x 13″ baking pan and set aside.
2. Melt 3 tbsp of butter in the microwave. Once melted, mix in 3 cups of mini marshmallows and toss to coat. Then, melt the marshmallows in the microwave for about 90 seconds. Stir to mix again, then pour in your cereal and mix with a spatula to coat all of the cereal in the marshmallow mixture.
3. Scrape the cereal into your baking pan. Press the cereal into the pan firmly. While it’s still warm, sprinkle the marshmallows onto the top of the cereal in a rainbow and gently press into the cereal.
Let me know in the comment section below if you tried making this treat.
Happy St Patrick’s Day!!!

This week, I went out to take pics for St. Patrick’s Day and, then, it dawned on me………. I really don’t know much about this holiday. I went home and did a little research; so, here are 5 things you (like me) probably didn’t know about St. Patrick’s Day.
1. Saint Patrick was British
It is said that St. Patrick was born in what is now England, Scotland or Wales. Irish raiders enslaved him at the age of 16, took him to Ireland and held him captive for six years.
2. The Shamrocks
Legend has it that St. Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate the doctrine of the holy trinity (The Son, The Father & The Holy Spirit).
3. We should wear blue
Historians say that the color that was mostly associated with St. Patrick is blue. It is a very light blue called “Saint Patrick’s blue”. So, where did the green come from? Honestly, I am not sure. There are several different reasons, such as:
· Green is one of the three colors in the Irish flag.
· Ireland is known as the "Emerald Isle” because of its lush, green landscape.
· Green was also used when supporters of Irish independence used the color to represent their cause.
· Green is the color of the shamrock.
It’s safe to say that, if you don’t wear green, leprechauns might just pinch you. I guess you can pick the explanation you like best.
4. Corned Beef and Cabbage
The traditional meat eaten on St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland turns out to be Irish bacon and not corned beef. Irish immigrants to the United States used corned beef, the cheaper alternative at the time, as a substitute. They learnt about this, as a replacement, from Jewish immigrants.
Side note, I totally plan to cook Jamaican corned beef with cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day.
5. The Chicago River turns green
Every year, since 1962, the city turns the river green by dumping 40 tons of dye into it.
