23 Shortbread dipped in Dark Chocolate and Sprinkled with Salted Pistachios

Guess what!?  I found a four leaf clover today!  It's my first one.  

Obviously a sign I should go buy my mega-millions ticket right? What in the world would I do with $500 million dollars?  Thats half a billion dollars.  Crazy.

While I sit and consider all of the incredible trips, dream Pinterest House (we all have one - am I right?), businesses I could start, etc.  I'm going to snack on these heavenly shortbread cookies.  

Shortbread is one of the few cookies I eat year round, buttery enough for winter and light enough for spring/summer.  The bright green color of the pistachios reminds me of Easter and spring plants.  The Dark chocolate with the salt from the Pistachios is a killer combo.  Definitely give this a try. 

PS.  I cannot forget to thank Laura of Lauralicious Recipes and Amanda of Thinly Sliced Cucumber for giving me the Liebster Blog Award.   Cooking is fun and all, but really it's the friendly, witty, creative people like you who make blogging fun.  Every visit and comment makes my day.  Thank you so much, and definitely check out both of these talented ladies.
