Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm a big fan of holidays and special occasions. They break up the week-to-week routine and get everybody celebrating together - there is a reason why they date so far back in human history! St. Patrick's Day is a great occasion for people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate together. You don't have to be Irish to appreciate a great party, some good pints and yummy food.

Yesterday I posted this idea for Shamrock Spinach Pizza. A simple way to change a cultural favorite into a festive dinner.

Last year I posted this recipe for a traditional Irish Soda Bread that is not only easy to make, but delicious too. 

 Pair the bread with simple Irish Carrot Soup that you can make from scratch in no time!

If you're looking for healthy start to your St. Patrick's Day, then kick it off with this Mint Chocolate Green Monster Smoothie. A cold, creamy breakfast that tastes just like its a dessert :)

 Speaking of dessert, if you're looking to treat yourself then make this Baileys Marble Cheesecake using Baileys Irish Cream. Thick, rich, smooth and with a little kick!

Whatever you do this year, I hope that you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!
