Luck of the Irish (free printables)...

Are you Irish or just want to be? 

t Do you decorate for St Patrick's Day? t

Do you make sure that you wear something green so your not pinched?

Well, I am not Irish not sure I want to be.  I don't decorated for St Patrick's Day but I decided to make some printables for you to help with your decorating.... Oh! and by the way I do try to remember green.. because I sure don't want to be pinched! 

Fill the Cookie Jar with Shamrock Pretzel Twists

I have to apologize as I didn't get any cookies made for this month's Fill the Cookie Jar.  I had so many ideas to do but before I knew it the day came up and I didn't anything done.

St Paddy's Day Milkshake

I am not a big St. Patrick's Day person...

Although I do like the green food..

This year I decided to make a green mint milkshake and this recipe turned out great.

My pictures aren't the best as it was early evening so not a lot of natural light 

and the more pictures I took, the milkshake kind of separated some but it still tasted good.

St Paddy's Day Milkshake

1.5 cups ice cream

1 cup milk (I used skim)

3 tsp creme de menthe syrup

1 tsp minced fresh mint

2-3 drops green food colouring

extra mint and andres creme de menthe thins, coloured sugar for garnish 

In blender mix ice cream, milk, creme de menthe syrup and mint until smooth.  If you want a thicker milkshake add more ice cream or thinner add more milk.  Add 2 -3 drops of green food colouring until you get the shade of green you would like.  To make green coloured sugar, add a drop of two of food colouring to sugar and mix.  Dip rim of glass into sugar.  Pour in milkshake and garnish with andres mints and extra fresh mint.

Enjoy
