Here are a few more St. Patricks Day drinks for those of you who don't want to go the spinach route :) (see the Shrek Drink here). Thanks to http://www.amazingmoms.com/ for the ideas!


Lucky Lime Drinks
Put one, or two small scoops of lime sherbet in a clear glass ice cream cup, or beer mug. Pour 7-Up over the sherbet. Add a dollop of whipped cream, green sugar sprinkles and a green maraschino cherry!

My favorite is green spaghetti. We actually eat this over red spaghetti here is it

Green Spaghetti

1 lb. spaghetti, cooked, drained
10 oz. frozen spinach, chopped
1/2 C. chicken broth
1/2 C. Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 C. milk
4 Tbs. butter (optional)

Prepare spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat spinach in microwave until hot. Heat broth over low heat. Place spinach and it’s liquid into blender. Add warmed broth and liquefy. Stir cheese and milk into spinach mixture. When spaghetti is done, drain and place in large bowl. Toss with butter, then spinach mixture.

We actually eat this about 2 times a month!
