St. Patrick's Day Breakfast

We have a great tradition on St. Patrick's Day.  This was actually a tradition we adopted from Casey's mother.  We love to act like our kitchen was invaded by leprechauns and all of our food was turned green.  Our breakfast usually consists of green pancakes and green milk for breakfast.  It's a silly tradition, but one that Caden loves.  You've never seen a boy scarf down pancakes and a glass of milk more quickly!  (I need to remember this trick when he doesn't want to even try the food on the table).

All you do, is add a couple drops of food coloring to the milk and pancake batter (or there are endless options... muffins, waffles, bread, rolls, etc) and voila!  Your kitchen has been invaded by leprechauns.

Do you have any fun traditions for St. Patrick's Day?

Recipe Roundup

Squash and Goat cheese Wonton Ravioli.  (I've used wonton wrappers before to make cheese and jalapeno poppers that turned out delicious.  Instead of boiling them, I added one 1/2" cube of cheddar cheese and one jalapeno slice and fried in oil.  They were fabulous!)



Cinnamon Spice Pumpkin Pumpkin Bread. (I had some extra canned pumpkin from this fall so I made this and it turned out delicious!  I whipped the cream cheese filling so it made quite a bit, next time I'll try halving it.  I also added some cinnamon to the cream cheese....my husband said it was the best pumpkin bread he'd ever had!)



Nutella Cheesecake Squares. Don't these sound just melt in your mouth delicious!  They do to me!



Cinnamon Apple Pancakes. Sounds to me like a fabulous way to dress up plain pancakes!

Happy Cooking,
