Shamrock Soup

March 12, 2012


I have a crow to pluck.

It’s called dying all things green on St. Patrick’s Day. Somehow pesto just seemed a bit more appealing, than say, green eggs. Dyed foods kinda have the adverse effect, turning my face & stomach green instead. Is this just me? Maybe I’m just not fun like that or something. But I will hand it to the lil’ leprechauns, rainbows, and lucky clovers for all being kind of adorable. So here’s to a lucky St. Patrick’s day lunch or dinner… without the dye but still all the fun!

Oh and Lil’ Lassies? I forgot to mention…

The pesto recipe is found HERE
Shamrock cookie cutters found HERE

(Cutters come in a 3-pack, giving the option to make smaller portions for our little wee ones).

      You’ll have to let me know if you end up trying it!

    Those rainbow kabobs are a cute idea! I’m with you: leave my food dye-free, please.

    • missy March 16, 2012 at 1:16 pm

      The kabobs are even tastier to eat!

    Aw so cute, I love it! I made fruit kebabs just the other week; my favourite healthy dessert! I drizzle melted dark chocolate over them – yum! And I had a cereliac soup just this weekend at a restaurant for lunch and it was SO good!

      Lately I’ve been trying to have a small bowl full of berries instead of ice-cream. Oi! Pregnancy…
