It's not easy being green!

Remember this monochromatic meal???

Well, what better day for another monochrome meal than St. Patrick's Day!??! And while the leprechauns did not turn our milk green, we did have a 'green' meal! And, it's made from things you've read about here!

First came the main dish - usually this is Spinach & Mushroom Ravioli - but today it was Whole Wheat Cheese Tortellini (store was out of ravioli....and since Druggy and I are on weight watchers, the whole wheat pasta was a better route anyway!)

And there are a plethora of green vegetables we could have eaten in our green meal...green beans, asparagus, broccoli...all are family favorites...but the most famous is the artichoke...so that's what we had!

and finally...we top it off with a salad...green, but also very colorful!

A great way to celebrate the holiday through food...speaking of which...we did that on Valentine's day, though um...the coloring wasn't quite as sucessful...

Orange (rather than pink eggs)...

Heart shaped cinnamon rolls...

and the kids' favorite....pink grits.
