Eating Green

This post is not about healthy, environmentally-friendly eating (I try to do that on all the non-celebratory days).  This is about enjoying yummy food that happens to be green!

Green-velvet & cheesecake!
(You could even wrap coins in foil and bake inside the cake layer to really make it a "green" cake, ha ha!)

Mint and chocolate is my usual go-to St. Patty's treat.  These thin-mint truffles look like a delicious take on the popular flavor combo!

This yummy punch is a concoction of white (green) grape juice, pineapple juice, lemonade, lime popsicles, and green apple "shamrock" slices!

Okay, this one isn't a rainbow, but shamrock eggs are just as cute!

Pot o' Gold

Make a scavenger hunt for your honey or kids (or both) to go on to find a pot of gold.

At the end of your chocolate-dipped oreo rainbow you'll find a pot of rolo gold!

Leprechauns

What kid would skip lunch when it looks this cute?

If you don't want to eat a leprechaun's face, just eat his hat!

If you invite leprechauns over, beware- they are not the best houseguests!

So Wonderfully Artsy

 

Little People

This title refers to leprechauns and the cute toys from Fisher-Price.  All of my kids love to play with this and it reminds me to watch a St. Patty's parade, or listen to Celtic music, or check out some fancy footwork of Irish dancing!

To Pinch or not to Pinch

Keep your kids in the green and safe from pinchy fingers.

However, if you'd like a certain someone to pinch you, don't be subtle!

Kiss me, I'm Irish!  On St. Patrick's Day everyone is Irish!

March = Shamrocks!

March is the perfect time to look for clovers.  The 3-leaf ones are a great symbol for the godhead.  The 4-leaf ones are lucky, because you are included with the godhead!  Love these cute ones I saw on:

Six Sisters' Stuff

This Shamrock/Irish map banner is too cute:

(Other March themes could be Spring and don't forget Daylight Savings Time- we should always save daylight, ha ha!)
