Last week I posted about my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinner. I had originally planned to make six desserts (in addition to the two bought cakes and cupcakes) but due to a failed lemon bar recipe (okay two failed attempts), and not enough time, I only ended up making 3 extra desserts. And I was ok with that.
A year ago I would have stayed up late to get it done or just run myself ragged to get it all done. But lately I’ve been trying to make myself let things go. If things aren’t perfect it is ok. If I don’t get every craft or DIY item done I thought I would, it’s ok. It’s not the end of the world.
But I am so glad this little snack came through. It is the perfect treat for kids and adults alike. I had a six-hour drive back and was wishing I had some after the party. I’ll be making this again soon!
