Happy St. Patrick’s Day, one day early! Our kids are making leprechaun traps right now, (no) thanks to our old elementary school implanting this idea in their heads. I love making all green food and having fun with the day, but having to make it look like leprechauns came to our house overnight is too much pressure! Okay, enough complaining. I’m certainly bringing bad luck upon myself, cursing the leprechauns this way! 😉
Not too many carry-over items from the last weekly menu – I did a decent job cooking most everything on my plan! We’ll see if I can keep this streak alive!
MONDAY:
– Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This year we’re going with a green feast instead of more traditional Irish food. Everything I’m making is super easy to color green!
– Chicken Piccata, Mashed Potatoes, Green Veggie, Green Lemon Bars
TUESDAY:
– Honey Goat Cheese Pizza with Caramelized Onions
WEDNESDAY:
– Boozy Beef Stew àla my SIL Cora
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Eat out (Cate has beach volleyball every Friday for 2 hours, so I’m moving eat out night from Saturday to Friday!)
SATURDAY:
– Hamburgers
– Carrot sticks and fresh fruit
SUNDAY:
– Breakfast for dinner: Swedish pancakes
– Fresh fruit

I have the pot of gold hidden, which is a poorly constructed pot out of black construction paper I pilfered from my kids craft desk, and a handful of rollos candies. I refuse to make green footprints on the toilet, because then I’d just have to clean up my own leprechaun mess.
Sat — steak and cheese subs, fries

I am not a huge celebrator of St. Patrick’s Day. Actually I wasn’t even sure what date it was till you told me. 🙂 So, no, I’m not planning anything, though my calendar does say to send my kids to school in green clothes.
This week contains no new recipes, but that is find with me. After a busy week, full of appointments and emotional events, I am ready to stick by home and be as ‘normal’ as we can be. Besides, this means more time to spend starting seeds for the garden. I might even get a few things out in the ground for a potential early crop.
Lunch:
1. Eat Out
2. Tomato soup, croutons
3. Grilled Spiced Pork Patties, side salad
4. Salad
5. Pizza
6. Salad
7. Spaghetti and Meatballs
Supper:
1. Leftovers
2. Apple butter French Toast Sandwiches
3. Curried Butternut Squash Soup, bread
4. Chicken Enchiladas, refried beans, rice
5. Bread, cheese, tea
6. Veggie and Cilantro Hummus Sandwiches
7. Leftovers
I am always so impressed with your gardeners!

I threw a huge birthday for my son yesterday & totally forgot about St Patty’s Day. He also started the leprechaun traps at school last year & was adamant we continue the tradition. I thought it was fun last year but it was a chore this year but once I saw his reaction when he saw the leprechaun visited again (absolutely thrilled), I knew it was worth it. 🙂
M: corned beef & cabbage w/ potatoes & sourdough bread
Tu: corned beef hash/poached eggs/sourdough toast/fruit salad
W: baked “fried” chicken/mashed potatoes/veg of some sort
Th: pesto-mozzarella-tomato pizza & spinach salad
F: l/o
Sa: out
Su: B4D–chorizo & eggs/potatoes & peppers/
my kids seriously LOVE making those traps so much, and they pretty much don’t need me at all when they’re doing it, so I’ll admit it is lots of fun. just have to remember to get those gold coins!!! 😉
as always, so grateful that you all post menus every week. thank you! so many great ideas to get my planning going for this weekend!
