Obviously we made shirts...
(How cute is this necklace?!? I have one too!! LOVE them! They are my new addiction!)
We made some teacher gifts.
We HAD to start the day off with Lucky Charms and a Green Smoothie!
Here is the recipe, as per several requests...
spinach (2 cups? Enough to fill the blender)
8 ounces plain yogurt
1 cup pear, peeled and diced
1 banana, peeled and chunked
1/4 cup honey
1 cup ice cube, crushed
6 green kiwi fruits
*Combine the spinach, yogurt, pears, banana and honey in a blender. Pulse until smooth and blended.
*Add ice cubes one at a time and process until smooth.
*Slice kiwifruit into halves and spoon fruit into the blender with the rest of the smoothie. Pulse until just blended.
We had yummy green snacks all day... pears, kiwis, guacamole (with lime chips, of course), spinach pops (froze the left over smoothie) and what was left of the Lucky Charms.
For dinner we had artichokes (son's request/pleading), spinach ravioli with pesto and sour melon slushies. I promise it tasted better then it looks.
I can just tell you how much I love watching my 4 year old dive into those artichokes!! She does great! I LOVE that my kids will try new foods ~ and 8 times out of 10, they LIKE it!!
For dessert... mint brownie pie ~ YUM!!!!
At our house we have made an arrangement with Mr. Leprechaun. He comes to visit, but doesn't play tricks. He leaves treats. Green ones. Today he "hid" the stash until Dad came home and we could go through it all together. What a nice Leprechaun!!
"I'm am so lucky to have what I've got
And if you reflect we've all got a lot.
So let's honor St. Paddy the whole day through
May luck find your path and no one pinch you!"
Happy GREEN Day!
