St. Patrick's Day Food

I really want to try to establish some fun traditions for the kids. This year I bought a bunch of green things: kiwis, avocados, spinach wraps, pistachio pudding, lettuce, green jello, rainbow sherbet, and some green food coloring. But as it turned out, our day got really busy with Zumba class, piano lessons, and getting ready for study, so I only used a few of my ideas... Maybe next year?!

For breakfast we had green eggs and green milk. (I wanted to get Lucky Charms, but Cliff drew the line there :)

For lunch: spinach wraps with lettuce while we watched a little show about St. Patrick and ate our rainbow sherbet.

For snack we frosted and decorated shamrock cookies and ate them.

 

For dinner it was our night off. (We potluck with our Bible study every week.) My friend Ashley made green chocolate chip cookies and layered green jello jigglers. Yum!

So now we might have a bit of food coloring poisoning, but I think it was worth it when I heard Kaiah telling one of her friends tonight all about the green stuff we ate today. Even though it wasn't quite what I had originally planned, they liked it!
