Healthy St. Patrick's Day Food Ideas
One of the best excuses to drink green beer is quickly approaching and I've got a bunch of fun green recipes to help you celebrate! St. Patrick's Day is the first big holiday before all the beautiful spring weather comes, and I love that it's an excuse to eat a whole bunch of finger food and pig out on pub grub.

If you just want an excuse to eat or drink something green this St Paddy's Day, there are so many ways to get creative and whip up something delicious to celebrate!

Thanks so much for including me! I must be in a savory type of mood because the avocado pesto, Thai Green Curry Vermicelli, and Green Bloody Marys are seriously making me drool right now. And it’s a whole meal too! Also, potato nachos TOTALLY belong on this list (any list really).
