Ever since we moved here seven years ago I have wanted to go to the Irish festival and every year something has come up preventing my going until this year! On Saturday we loaded our Irish clan and drove to Fair Park. (I’m actually venturing farther than 5 miles from my home. It’s great to… [continue reading]
Green St. Patrick’s Day Lunch for the Kids
My kids asked for a green meal for St. Patrick’s Day last year. Since I was cooking for supper, I just found some things that I could put together quickly. They loved it.

St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast for Kids
Shamrock toast! This was our St. Patrick’s Day breakfast last year. I made homemade bread the night before.

They each… [continue reading]
Our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration 2011
This year I made a festive breakfast, lunch, and supper. I really enjoy celebrating (or have you noticed?) and cooking when I have the time.

St. Patrick’s Day Lunch for the Kids
Last year the kids asked if I would make them a green lunch for St. Patrick’s Day. I usually cook a big evening meal so it had to be something fast and easy. This is what we put together: I found green spinach tortillas so I made lunch meat roll-ups with cream cheese Fuzzy spicy… [continue reading]
St. Patrick’s Day (Irish) Tree 2011
On March 1st we traditionally decorate our house with an Irish theme. I don’t always do a tree, but Jason Jr. had so much fun with the Valentine tree that I couldn’t resist. I want to keep hearing his, “Pretty lights, Mommy, pretty lights,” as he points to the tree wanting me to turn the… [continue reading]
Our First St. Patrick’s Day Celebration
My first St. Patrick’s Day Celebration was eleven years ago. We had only been married about two and a half years. Jason was finally out of school and in a real job. We had two couples over for dinner and a Bible study. I had a blast cooking all day. I was so proud of… [continue reading]
