Let's go green for St. Patrick's Day! Going green can conjure up many images and thoughts of sustainability, being environmentally responsible, or perhaps just green frog costumes and four-leaf clovers, right? But today we're going to look at 3 ideas to help us Go Green for St. Patrick's Day.
1. Giving Green - In honor of the true spirit of St. Patrick and his courageous efforts to help and save even those who were his enemies, consider Giving Green (pardon the pun) to help an influential cause or non-profit in your area - whether it be a local food bank, homeless shelter, children's home, or something on a national or global scale like Meals on Wheels or Feeding Children Everywhere. Encourage another family to participate with yours, starting a new holiday tradition, and making a difference by giving green.
2. Cleaning Green - Let's be honest - in the kitchen, especially, there is always lots of cleaning to be done! Consider going green with household cleaners (infographic & recipe cards), choosing chemical-free options - good for your household, your family, and the environment. These days it is easy to find eco-friendly cleaners in the stores; you can also order them from places like the Clean Team or make your own green household cleaners and homemade carpet cleaner.
3. Cooking Green - Well, how about dishing up some green dishes (without adding green food coloring)? Here are a few ideas - from main dishes to salads and desserts.
Spinach Salad with Oranges and Chicken - mandarin oranges, sliced almonds and chicken top off this spinach salad with color and flavor.
Black Beans, Andouille, and Collard Greens Pan Stew - Andouille sausage gives a smoky flavor to the greens and black beans.
Spring Frittata - eggs cooked with ham and asparagus make a quick meal any time of day.
Pistachio Parfaits - a chilled dessert with pistachio pudding, cream cheese, and crumbled shortbread cookies. Yum!
