St. Patrick’s Day is next week, so it’s time to start thinking about all things green, lucky, and Irish.
- Make a delicious Irish apple cake: https://thesugarvine.com/2017/03/16/irish-apple-cake-st-patricks-day/
- Have a glass of green colored wine: Unfortunately, wine doesn’t come in green naturally, but you can always drop a little food coloring in a glass of white wine and get the look
- Make your own shamrock shake- If you don’t want to stop by McDonald’s, try making this at home: https://www.dinneratthezoo.com/shamrock-shake-recipe/
- Make homemade shamrock shaped gum drops: https://www.awortheyread.com/homemade-gum-drops/
- Have a rainbow cake- maybe there will be a pot-o-gold in the center! https://www.sugarhero.com/rainbow-mousse-cake/

- Make your classic Rice Krispy treats a little luckier: https://www.classyclutter.net/st-patricks-day-rice-krispie-treats-with-lucky-charms-marshmallows//
- Got a favorite vanilla cake recipe? Add a few drops of food coloring to it (and the frosting) for an easy and yummy treat!
- It’s not easy to find Irish wine but you can always get wine in an Irish themed bottle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRWOSPH/ref=asc_df_B01MRWOSPH5383439/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B01MRWOSPH&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241940359110&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9172299319298363457&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027718&hvtargid=pla-400279976809
