St. Patrick's Day

How do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

With the eatin' of the green.

St. Patrick's Day is a great time to use up all the green food color in your cabinets that is starting to crust over from age.

Everything at dinner is green. Menu suggestions?

Green milk or apple juice
Green mashed potatoes
Green beans, peas, brocolli or artichokes (no food coloring needed)
Green Jello
Green Cool Whip (it works better if it's thawed--but who has time?)
Green Crescent Rolls (use the new spray food color on them before baking)
Green Catsup (you have to use the good Wilton food color to turn catsup a dark green)
Green Meatloaf (I usually just put the green catsup on top)

Just put a few drops of green food coloring in all your food or spray on green color with the new green food spray. You're kids will be grossed out and your spouse or significant other will try not to be (but they will). Everything tastes the same (or does it when it's green?) Make sure its food coloring not other green growth that you're serving!

No way you'd ever cook anything? Then use the spray coloring on whatever food came out of your paper bag or styrofoam container! Green is great!
