This is going to be one green post.
I think green foods are my favorite: Kale, broccoli, zucchini…
And mint-chocolate chip!!
Have you ever tried a McDonalds’ shamrock shake? I actually haven’t, but I make this shake at least once a month. It is so incredibly delicious… and so vibrantly green!
If Baskin & Robbins made their famous mint-chocolate-chip ice cream into a cupcake, I imagine it would taste something like this. Bonus points for adding chocolate chips to the batter.
This cookie-like oatmeal would make a perfect St. Patrick’s Day breakfast!
If you click on the above link, you’ll find a list of all my oatmeal recipes. Oatmeal is a staple in Ireland… you’ve gotta eat oatmeal on St. Patrick’s Day!
Yes, spinach. Don’t be scared! Just like with green smoothies, you cannot taste the spinach in this. It’s a great way to get kids begging for vegetables!
Looks like Jello pudding, but it’s much healthier! And don’t forget the gooey chocolate frosting…
A healthy alternative to the stuff you’d find at a fancy-schmancy ice cream parlor.
Just in case you were wondering where Leprechauns go for the winter, here is your answer: They go to Florida! They sit on the beach and eat key lime pie.
Try bringing this deliciously green dip to your St. Patrick’s Day party. I call it “Aspari-Dip” since I don’t think it tastes like avocado. But when I served it to a bunch of friends, they told me it was better than guacamole!
Question of the Day:
Are you going to eat anything green on St. Patrick’s Day?
Are you Irish? And do you make sure to wear green? I’m sure I’ll eat something green without even trying, since so many foods–especially veggies–are green. And I always wear green on St. Patrick’s Day… being pinched hurts! As for being Irish, my grandfather was a full-blooded Irishman, but I’ve never actually been to his homeland. I’d love to go someday.
I have some Irish in me … so I’ll probably sport a green t shirt or something! Wouldn’t want to get pinched 😉 and there’s no doubt I’ll eat something green on Saturday as well – I sneak spinach into almost every meal!
Breakfast too? I bet you could make a pretty good savory spinach oatmeal!
These recipes all look delicious!! I have been brainstorming as to which tasty green treat I will make….
These all look great, Katie!!
Um, I don’t wish to alarm you but your “Home” button has disappeared..
Yes, I know 🙁 🙁
A few minutes ago, EVERYthing disappeared! I got most of it back… but have no clue how to get the home button back!!
Ooh wait, I’m smarter than I give myself credit for ;). It’s back!
Still don’t know why it’s off-centered!
Oh to understand technology… :-?.
I LOVE St. Patty’s Day!! I’m half irish so i celebrate hard 🙂
Perfect post! This is going to be my go-to post for weekend baking!!!~! 🙂 So excited to make the goodness!
LOVE this post. You listed all of my fav peppermint recipes 🙂
I will def celebrate, though I won´t be in Ireland this year.
You should go visit Ireland, if you have the chance. It is my most loved country in the world- stunningly beautiful and the people are unbelievably friendly.
I’m fairly irish but don’t have too many st pattys day plans as of now except enjoying a few hard ciders with friends!
I always eat green veggies, so I’m sure I’ll eat something green on St. Patty’s!
How funny, we have pretty much the exact same green foods – although avocado is also in my list which I know isn’t one of your favorites right now. 🙂
Right now I have a frozen block of your peanut butter hot chocolate ice cream – not the least bit St. Patrick’s Day…but I still have time for other creations.
Have a great day.
green foods are my favorite too: kale chips, mint chocolate chip ice cream, GREEN monster smoothies…! love all of your st patty’s day green options Katie. Especially that chocolate grasshopper pie. holy cow! yum.
