LEPRECHAUNS ARE REAL
|
"Leprechauns are real", that is what I remember my eldest granddaughter telling me after she came home from Kindergarten many years ago. "They came to my school today. We heard them stomping around upstairs. I know they were there". My granddaughter's excitement always comes to mind each St. Patrick's Day. She was awe struck and we never tried to change her mind. She also knew there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Of course many of us still hope to find that pot of gold.
Sometimes when I think about our customers and friends we have met over the years, I feel as though I have found that pot of Gold. I treasure the relationships we have made and the many friends who continue to do business with Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware year after year. Business is an exciting thing. Each day brings a new opportunity. Sometimes Leprechauns get in the way and cause problems. Other days they are all around encouraging the new day. Whatever tomorrow brings, we at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware are forever grateful that you, our friends and customers are continually there. Our four leaf clover has been very good to us for the 25 years we have been in business and we are very grateful for your faithfulness through the years. We look forward to the next 25 years.
I Appreciate You!

Green Rice Krispy Treats
|
 Make this trendy and tasty classic treat that's great for kids of all ages and sure to make anyone's day! This is an easy and eye-catching snack that will be a breeze to make if you already know how to make rice crispy treats and you can even add peppermint to make them minty!
Ingredients:
- 6 Cups Puffed Rice Cereal (divided into three 2 cup portions)
- 6 Cups Miniature Marshmallows
(divided into three 2 cup portions) - 6 Tablespoons Butter
(divided into three 2 tablespoon portions) - 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Peppermint Extract (Optional)
- Green Food Coloring
Directions:
Prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups miniature marshmallows and 2 tablespoons butter, melt over low heat and stir until well combined. Remove from heat and add in 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring. This will be your lightest colored layer, so a nice light shade of green works great. Combine melted mixture with two cups of puffed rice cereal and stir well. Pour and press onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat process for following two layers, adding in 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract in place of vanilla extract to your middle layer if desired. For each layer, you will want to create a darker shade of green with your food coloring. Press each layer on top of the previous layer. Allow to cool. Cut with knife or cookie cutter as desired. Serve and enjoy!
