I tried to convince the kids that if they really wanted to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, they needed to head corned beef and cabbage! That got a resounding, 'Ick!'. So that's when I found a recipe for mint shakes! 

I like having themed dinners sometimes or at least try to color foods. The easiest is mashed potatoes. I always color them. And yes, green mashed spuds will accompany something on St. Patty's Day. But truly, the kids are looking forward to dessert!

Don't have kids and hate the flavor of mint? Then I bet you are a fan of beer! Coming up on Sunday is the Q's Half K for St. Patrick's Day! That's just a fancy name for a beer crawl on the 15th! Block out time from 9a-2p! Get your tickets today and leave the kids at home!
