George Washington and cherries have a long history because of that legendary story about him cutting down his father's cherry tree when he was a boy, and when he was asked about it he supposedly uttered that famous line: “I can not tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.” There's nothing to prove that the cherry tree story is true, but George Washington has been associated with cherries ever since.

And while she'd love to tuck into a nice wedge of cherry pie in celebration of all things February, Girlawhirl's got a better suggestion: a Cherry Pie Lara Bar. Full of all the flavors that make cherry pie so tasty but much more healthy!
