St. Patrick’s Day Family Style!

Start your day off right with a green breakfast! Add green food coloring to scrambled eggs before you cook them and make St. Patrick and Dr. Seuss proud! A drop or two of dye in the milk may make even the most die hard non milk drinker wanna take a sip! If you want to add fruit, there’s nothing like green grapes and kiwi to keep everyone in the spirit! Another idea is to make store bought cinnamon rolls then add green dye to the frosting for a tasty green treat. Finally, there’s nothing better than green pancakes with the trusty die added to the recipe!

If you can sneak off to school here’s a great St. Patrick’s Day trick elementary children LOVE! Sneak into their classroom when they are at lunch and wreck the room! Move chairs around, take a few things from the teacher’s desk and put it on the children’s desks, change out pencil boxes. Sprinkle a little green glitter on the floor for leprechaun footprints and leave a chocolate gold coin or green jolly rancher on their desks from their “resident leprechaun!”

St. Patrick’s Dinner can be served the usual style with corned beef and cabbage here’s our favorite easy recipe:

Ingredients
4 pounds corned beef brisket
1 cup brown sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Guinness
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
Place the brisket on rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub the brown sugar on the corned beef to coat entire beef, including the bottom. Pour the bottle of stout beer around, and gently over the beef to wet the sugar.
Cover, and place bake for 2 1/2 hours. Add vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, potatoes during the last hour of cooking.
Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Erin go Bragh!
