How is it already March?! I feel like I’m still getting used to the idea of 2018, but here I am already making St. Patrick’s Day rainbow meringues. After what feels like a never-ending winter, we are so ready to slide into spring. Zelda and I won’t be in Chicago when the leprechauns come to town because we are heading out on a much-needed vacation to Mexico. Since we’ll be basking in the Mexican sun on St. Patrick’s Day, we got a jump start on making our favorite St. Patrick’s Day treats. (I don’t plan on stepping foot in the kitchen while we’re on vacay!) Rainbow meringues are one of my all-time favorite things to make – I find the entire process so relaxing. If you’ve never made them before, don’t be intimidated. They’re super easy but be patient when it comes to the baking time! What’s your go-to St. Patrick’s Day treat?
