Hi guys!! It is Sarah Bowmar here, just stopping in to share some fun recipes that I tried out for St. Patrick’s Day! I know that gatherings are more limited, but these ideas are so fun and perfect for the family to enjoy together or with friends, outside, socially distanced! There are a wide variety of recipes I made so please let me know what you think and which you tried!!

Rainbow fruit platter:

Strawberries

Clementines

Bananas

Green Grapes

Blueberries

Mini marshmallows

Lindt white chocolate, gold-covered chocolate truffles

Peel the clementines and place in line with the strawberries directly below

Cut the bananas and place below the clementines

Arrange the grapes below the bananas

Sprinkle the blueberries below the grapes

On one side of the rainbow, add marshmallows in a separate bowl or arrange in a cloud formation to the side of the rainbow

On the other side of the rainbow, add the gold truffles to be your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Pot of Gold mimosas:

Ingredients–

2 oz Orange juice

Champagne

2 oz Blue curacao

Luck of the Irish Chips and Dip:

1-2 green bell peppers

French onion dip (pre-made, refrigerated kind)

Scrape out the inside of the bell pepper being careful to create the look of a 3-4 leafed clover
