Funfetti Cheesecake Bars {Guest Post}

Today is awesome! Do you want to know why?? It is my birthday! And I think that it is going to be a good one because I should be on a flight right about now to Miami. I am going on a cruise with my hubby! Isn’t that a great way to celebrate a birthday? I am so excited to have my first guest poster while I am gone. I was able to meet Kristy at a recent blog conference that I attended. She is so cute and fun and I am so excited to have her at The Recipe Critic! I love that she is sharing Funfetti Cheesecake Bars. Two of my favorite things in one! How did she know?? So many memories came back to me when I saw these. I would ask for a funfetti cake every year for my birthday when I was growing up. I can’t wait to try these when I get home!

Hey Recipe Critic readers! I’m Kristy and I blog over at Sweet Treats & More, where I share a lot of indulgent treats balanced with healthy meals, because I believe we can have the best of both worlds. I’d love for to come say hi! I’m slightly jealous Alyssa is off basking in the sun while I freeze here in the winter snow, but I’m happy to be guest posting while she’s gone. Because today’s her birthday!! So we are going to celebrate properly and do some indulging!

Happy Birthday to our favorite Recipe Critic!!
