I decided to celebrate by eating green food for dinner. I had a dinner consisting entirely of green beans and broccoli. Okay, I admit, I was exhausted from work and wanted an easy dinner, but hey, it fit today's theme. I hope you all remembered to wear green.
Green items I wore today: green shirt, green earrings, green hair bow, green mascara, green underwear, green eyes (which, coincidentally, I always "wear")
I had on green eye shadow but I looked a little scary so I had to veto that.
I also made a delicious green dessert.
This is green ice cream! I promise! It's just a faint green! |
JazzyJ's Green IceCream Delight For Saint Patrick's Day
Ingredients:
- 1 half gallon green ice cream (I used mint cookie ice cream but mint chocolate chip would work as well)
- 1 Oreo cookie crust (you can find these at most grocery stores)
- Oreo cookies (smashed to pieces)
- A variety of green sprinkles
Directions:
1. Let ice cream sit out enough to soften so it is easy to scoop.
2. Scoop ice cream into the Oreo cookie crust and smooth so it looks nice and even.
3. Smash up about 8 Oreo cookies. I put them in a ziploc bag and gently hit them with the back of an ice cream scoop.
4. Sprinkle the smashed Oreo pieces on top.
5. Decorate with green sprinkles! Remember: You can never have too many sprinkles.
6. Put back in the freezer for a while so it hardens again.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
And here's a close up! See? Lots of sprinkles! |
