Happy St. Patrick's Day!
My boys and I had lots of fun this St. Patrick's day or "Green Day" as Orion calls it. Everything we ate today had green things, we colored with green crayons, played with our green toys, and well you get the idea. So here are pictures from the Green Day meals we had. Daddy had to miss dinner so his green day meal was packed in a bento!
Breakfast:

"Clover" oatmeal with gold nuggets (dried peaches), Green sugar sprinkles on wheat toast, and Gold juice (orange juice)


Lunch:

PB&J sandwiches with a clover (Drawn on with food dye), Gold coins (Sliced carrots), and Green Milk.

Dinner:














Ranch baked breaded chicken breast, egg noodles with a sour cream dill and onion sauce (with green dye), Red bell pepper strips, Gold coin carrots, Deviled eggs (with green dye in yoke mix and the egg white), The Clover on the children's plate and the "Lucky" on the adults plates are cut from nori , and a special little prize in the center of the plate... A miniature Lucky 8 ball!! This was a big hit of course. This was served with Green apple juice, and a simple dessert of Green lime jello with whipped topping. We had so much fun with this I'm planing on doing more color specific days with my boys.
