St. Patrick’s Day Recipes

I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! This is such a fun day of the year with races, green beer, and all other green things. Our day did not quite start out like I would have hoped with a K-State win, but the green beer made up for it. Keeping my fingers crossed the rest of today’s games work out in my favor.

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, here are my favorite green recipes:

1. Healthy Mint Oreo Shake

2. Jalapeno Poppers

3. Spinach Wraps

4. Orange Sesame Kale Salad

5. Blue Cheese Pear Pizza

Or if you are going to be out all day and do not feel like making anything, a Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s can solve any of your problems.

Plus there is something about a seasonal menu item, that I just cannot get enough of…like Pumpkin Spice Lattes in October.

I figured this shake had to be loaded in calories just based on the amount of whip cream on top, so when in doubt…share with your dogs.

Just try not to let them get their whole head in the cup.

It makes for a sticky situation, but the mint flavoring does improve doggy breath.

How did you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

Easy Super Bowl Recipes

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Are you ready for some football? What about a game day spread? Can you hardly wait the anticipation of some sweet commercials? Hmmm…yeah sounds about right.

In case there are any procrastinators out there like me, I wanted to share some easy super bowl recipes. Starting with…

Chipotle Raspberry Black Bean Dip: If there was one recipe I shared that is a must make, it would be this dip. I went straight to the source with this recreation, and it is better than ever! There is nothing else quite like the spicy, sweet flavors of this dip.

Buffalo Chicken Dip: This dip takes the mess right out of eating a wing, but has all the same flavors and more. I refer to it as Chris’ favorite dip because he cannot get enough of it.

Jalapeno Poppers: Bacon and jalapenos are football watching staples. These are a must make to spice your party up.

Mel’s Mexican Corn Dip: This recipe is my friend Mel’s go to thing to bring to a party. I love it because there is no work involved. Just toss some things together and you are done!

Spicy Southwest Egg Rolls: For some reason when appetizer comes to my mind I think of Chili’s Triple Play. I grew up in a small town. What? Specifically, I think of the wonderful goodness of the Southwest Egg Rolls. Yum!

Savory Sweet Chex Mix: A good thing can be made better than ever, just like this mix. When planning a party, it is always good to have something on hand for people to grab and munch on.

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls: If you like all things in an easy to eat roll. Try this version of the dip. It can be plopped right on to a plate and devoured right away. Score!

Margarita Flat Bread: Football, pizza, and beer all equal a true Super Bowl experience. This is a nice option for those looking for a lower calorie option.

Blue Cheese Spread: If you want something truly powerful with flavors choose this spread. I mean blue cheese, red onion, and garlic. Whoa…

Spicy Pineapple Shrimp: Need an eight minute recipe? Whip up these suckers. Easy to make. Easy to eat.

I could not narrow down which recipes I wanted to make, so I just decided I would make them all.

Kidding! I haven’t selected which recipes I’m officially making, except of course Chipotle Raspberry Black Bean Dip, and whatever this guy is craving.

Wish the rest of them were attending our watch party. I just love the fur lined coat and plaid. He’s so rustic.

What are you craving for the Super Bowl?
