There’s a descent chance you will find me passed out somewhere on the streets of NYC this weekend. Partially having to do with the St. Patrick’s Day festivities going down, and partially because a week’s worth of recipes has completely exhausted me. Mostly I’m just excited to see my best friends.
These are the girls who have known me since I was 8 years old and wore a white and green striped onesie on the first day of summer camp. The girls who I comforted through a never-ending month of homesickness (love you Daley!), were there for my first kiss, didn’t judge me for my unibrow and laughed our asses off with when our band “Raw Skin Meaty Vegetables feat. The Canteloupe Squashers” performed in the talent show.
I love them more then green food, and that means A LOT.
But since I can’t host up a link-up about them without making myself seem super creepy, we’re doing GREEN FOODS instead. Oh yeah and that whole St. Patrick’s Day thing too.
If you’ll be celebrating please be that person who shows up with healthy green foods to help your friend’s stomachs absorb all that beer. They may give you funny looks for trying to sneak spinach into their food, but when they wake up hangover-less they are certain to thank you.
Here are my ideas (yes I’m suggesting feeding brussels at your St. Patrick’s Day Party). Looking forward to what you guys bring to the table!
We kicked off the week by discussing how I would fail on the Paleo diet, but still managed to throw together some AHH-MA-ZING Paleo Peppermint Donuts with Coconut Green Frosting. Seriously, make these.
Then I attempted a creative twist on brussels sprouts by adding blueberries. The recipe was awesome just not-so-green. Make them anyway.
A lack of green called for a doubly green recipe with these Raw Key Lime Pistachio Bites made from just 3 ingredients!
Green week just wouldn’t be complete without some pickle. Why not add dried dill and pickle juice to your avocado? Seems totally logical to me…
You didn’t think I would do a round-up of green recipes without including pancakes, did you? These Green Silver Dollar Banana Pancakes are legit to-die-for and naturally green from spinach. No need to tell anyone.
Now it’s your turn! I’m stoked to see what green recipes you’ve whipped up!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends (well almost…)! Will you be celebrating? Did you link-up? What’s your favourite green food?
Holler for green food! 🙂 Thanks for hosting another fab link party. Be safe and have fun this weekend!
Because I wasn’t in the kitchen much this week, I still don’t even have a plan for Monday so I didn’t link up. The good news is I found lots of great green recipes so I should be ready for Monday!!!
I immediately wanted to go home and make those doughnuts. Alas- no almond meal. I might be making the pancakes instead. I’m seriously wanting something sweet.
So much green food!!! Love it. Have the best time with your friends this weekend! Old friends are the best 🙂
There’s a whole lotta goodness in this link up! These chicks are creative! My favorite green food is mint chocolate chip ice cream. Last years hangover taught me to celebrate with food and not beer. Whoopsie!
Have a great time celebrating St. Patty’s in NYC! If you don’t pass out somewhere or on someone, you’re doing it wrong 😉
The major ish here is that I want to eat them all. I’m thinkin I’ll start my day tomorrow with that dill avo toast, have a peppermint donut an hour later followed by the blueby brussels, and end the day with pancakes, obvi. Done and done.
I’m green with envy over your delicious green snacks 🙂
I would never have considered putting brussels sprouts and blueberries together but I love the idea!
Hope you have a blast in NYC!!!
This post is Racist.
I have some St. Patty’s Day “goodies” but they ain’t green… However, I might just SUBMIT ONE and see if you approve! Ha! BREAKING THE RULES BABY 😉
So many great sounding recipes here! Thanks for pushing us all to get creative 🙂
Have an amazing time in NYC! Looks like the weather will be perfect [finally] for frolicking through the streets, a beer in each hand!
I am terrible and didn’t make anything green this week. It was kind of rough week and I totally dropped the ball. I’m sooooo sorry! 🙁
I am excited to see you in NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
