Indulge in the mouthwatering flavors of St. Patrick's Day without spending hours in the kitchen. No need to look for your inner chef, let me share with you how you can whip up something green in under 15 minutes.
1. French savory spinach Crêpes: Must admit, nothing Irish about that one besides the color for the D-day. Can you blame me? Can you resist French crêpes? Also, allow giving all the credit to my son who was then 4. He asked me to put Spinach in his batter as it is "good for your health and Popeye loved spinach". My little superhero is such a foodie!
2. Avocado dip: Get your little to work and prepare something green. Let them mash those ripe avocados and they will love to eat what they prepared. Of course, grown-ups will love it too!
3. Corn, Bacon, and Zucchini Fritters: Last-minute pot luck? No problem! You can put together some nice vegetarian fritters in no time. The pesto and zucchini marry their greens for great flavors and taste. You can have the leftovers for work or for the kid's lunch at the camp.
Lightly fried in a pan, it gives you the perfect crunch! Eat some!
4. Green smoothie: Also very appropriate to boost your body and fight all the germs around with this extra weird winter. Or the end of winter I shall say. Yeah! It is not cold at all, you might be fighting one of those bad colds that has been spreading around.
Although I don't need to sneak veggies for my kids, this green smoothie might be the answer for yours.
5. The benefits of cucumber lemon ginger water: That might not be the season to pick it up in your garden but nonetheless, this is the answer to the March 18 hangover! Drink lots of it, it is what your body is craving.
Whatever you do for St Patrick's Day, have fun, enjoy but most of all are safe!

Green food is the best! I find I go through color phases where I only eat certain color foods. Weird! That avocado dip just went to the top of the list.
