I said to a mom friend the other day . . . I never realized before I became a mom how hard and gross it would be to take care of other human beings. I mean, I won’t go into details. Because I have totally been told in the comment section before that I was too graphic #imbitter #itseriouslywasntgraphic But . . . OH MAN. This week has brought on the stomach flu, a sinus infection, and the normal amount of pure nastiness that goes with having a newborn. I mean, pureed meat alone is enough to make a new mom want to yak. Or a seasoned mom for that matter. Side bar. I hate when I get a little drop of baby food on my hand and because of my career my natural instinct is to lick it off . . . and OH HELL PUREED TURKEY IS NASTY!
All of this is to say . . . that that just about wraps up the “take a peek into my crazy life” portion of the post, lol! You don’t want to know more today. Let’s talk about these Green Velvet Sugar Cookie Bars! Can we be honest? These were made exclusively so that I could take the picture you see above. I had this mental image of a green green bar a creamy frosting and golden sprinkles ever since seeing this amazing cake. It’s seriously so beautiful, I couldn’t shake it. Anyway, I even ordered the gold sprinkles before I’d even attempted making the bars, yes, ordered sprinkles, because I was that focused on making my vision a reality. The good news? The bars are even more amazing than the pictures. I could. not. stop. eating them in my caffeine driven frenzy. So, originally I was going to throw some buttermilk in there, but then after reading this post, I decided to try just a little vinegar instead, which totally made sense, since you make buttermilk by adding vinegar to milk. It totally worked. It gave it just this teenie tiny barely noticeable taste of tanginess that is perfect for red and green velvet. Seriously, these are melt in your mouth delicious!
