This is such a simple, satisfying, comforting and healthy soup recipe that works well as a side or main dish. If the broth and pot-stickers are already prepared then the soup ultimately comes together quickly for busy weeknight dinners.
This year we took our Homemade Easter Peeps to a new level by making our own sugar sprinkles with natural dyes. I used the same homemade marshmallow recipe and dusted the bunny cut-outs in homemade {naturally-dyed} sugar sprinkles.
It turns out that Dave’s Killer Bread also makes Killer French toast and I can feel confident that my boys are starting the day with a nourishing, nutritious breakfast.
Layer naturally-dyed green velvet pancakes with homemade whipped cream and top with a shamrock pancake for a festive way to start St. Paddy’s Day.
Though a thin crust may seem like just a vehicle for the toppings, this flat bread {flavored with spinach, garlic and feta} is actually very tasty on its own or as a simple cheese and/or pesto breadstick. For my St. Patrick’s Day flat bread, I had fun using shamrock and other festive {green} toppings.
Green egg shamrock toast or grilled cheese sandwiches is a simple {festive} breakfast, snack or lunch for St. Paddy’s day.
My obsession with vegetable soups continue. This broccoli soup has a creamy texture and a rich flavor but it might surprise you that no cream or even half and half is needed. Overall, it’s a hearty, healthy and easy weeknight choice.
A naturally-dyed rainbow smoothie is proof that fruits and vegetables are fun and beautiful. The optional garnish of whipped cream clouds and gold chocolate coins turns a healthy snack into an even more festive treat.
Traditions and customs are plenty when it comes to the King Cake. I made a cake that is more in line with those found in the Southeast United States, centering around the New Orleans Mardi Gras festivities. I used natural food dyes {spinach green, blueberry purple and pineapple gold} to decorate my cinnamon-roll King Cake with the iconic Mardi Gras colors.
There is something so satisfying about filling a blender with spinach leaves and blending it up into a tasty drinkable concoction that even your kids will enjoy.
