*Updated Feb. 3, 2021*

A few thoughts rereading this post:

  • These chewy bars are excellent, and I need to make them again ASAP.
  • OMG. Pre-Covid Mae was so so young and naïve. 5 WHOLE DAYS AT HOME WITH THE KIDS?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Not only is tomorrow Valentine’s Day, but it’s Winter Break. Meaning both of my kids have 2 days off, making a long weekend. Which would be fine, except they have DIFFERENT DAYS OFF making it a 5 day weekend. I need these schools to get on the same page ASAP!

So, since the kids will be home and expecting heart shaped everything, I went ahead and made these Chocolate Cherry Chewy Bars. They take maybe 30 minutes to make start to finish and are a great snack or even breakfast option for the family! Especially since they will be coming home with all their school Valentine’s party junk! It also feels pretty great to have breakfast made and ready to go the night before!

    I think the admin of this web site is genuinely working hard for
    his web page, for the reason that here every stuff is quality based data.

    P.S. If you have a minute, would love your
    feedback on my new website re-design. You can find it by searching for “royal cbd” – no sweat if you can’t.

    Keep up the good work!

    Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I
    guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing.
    Do you have any points for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

      Hey! I am still figuring it all out, but I think my best advice is to just start! If you have something to share, or a story to tell, don’t wait until you have everything “just right”. Just start and you will learn as you go!
