Cinco de Mayo is just days away, and I’ve had Mexican flavors on my mind. I can’t get enough of Mexican/Tex-Mex flavors on a normal day, but around this time every year, I especially get a craving.
As much as I love cookies, I have been totally drawn to bars lately. Maybe it’s because I’m lazy – it’s way faster to make a batch of bars than it is to make a batch of cookies – but I think I actually like them more because there is more of the soft center.
These bars – full of chocolate flavor, are spotted with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. That’s where you get your dalmatian spots! They only take minutes to throw together, and so you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your labors in no time at all!

If you’ve never had fresh basil pesto, you are really missing out. Now, basil pesto is something that I usually wait until summer to make, because basil is either really cheap to buy, or is growing like crazy in my back yard. But I found a huge bag of basil for really cheap, and I couldn’t pass it up. So I went home and whipped up some pesto with part of it – and then proceeded to eat it off of a spoon. That’s how much I really love fresh pesto!
