So…doing anything special for St. Patrick’s Day this year? I don’t know about you this holiday just moved up a notch after I looked for ways of Going Green for St Patrick’s Day! Green Food Ideas are awesome! We aren’t technically Irish in this household, so in the past, St. Patrick’s Day hasn’t been one that we’ve particularly paid a lot of attention to. However now that we have kids, it seems like just about EVERY holiday has a bunch of new things to do and wonderful opportunities to celebrate. Check out these amazing Green Food Ideas to incorporate into your St. Patrick’s Day routine. You may just have the family asking to have Green Food more often! Who knew there were this many green ideas to eat your way through the day 🙂
