Margarita Bars

For 3 days now we are back to chilly, wet, cold, cloudy days. Yesterday the pipe of of our sump pump cracked, due to cold, warm, back to cold, warm, more cold days, whiplash temperatures. So when it was a bit warmer, snow melting, with cracked pipe, for sure chaos. Meh. My husband quickly drove to the store to purchase new pipes, late afternoon, and they were not light in the pocket, obviously. So while I was having fun potting plants, he was definitely not having fun, dealing with sump pump ????

I miss gardening, big time. Winter is a long one in the North, so my escape is to garden inside ? Buying, planting, potting, indoor plants. The ones that are air purifying, mostly. Unfortunately, most of them are not pet friendly. But let’s talk about this more, some other time.

For now, let’s share a sweet recipe. Cannot wait for Summer, Margarita Bars ????
