Key lime pie is already on my list. Any other ideas and/or recipes?

My wife does a wonderful spinach dip for chips. Add some green food coloring to make it more "St. Patrick's Day-ish"

Here is a recipe: Creamy Parmesan Spinach Dip | Skinnytaste



You can put it in a hollowed out chunk of pumpernickle bread - for presentation.

And green jello shots always go over well for St. Patrick's day too! ;)

Green BEER!!

[Wondergirl]

My wife does a wonderful spinach dip for chips.

Thanks for the reminder! That's my son's NY contribution to parties, but he uses the Hawaiian bread that comes in a round loaf and hollows that out. Spinach = green = St. Pat's Day = I don't have to wait until NYE to eat it again. Now I'm drooling...

[Wondergirl]

J_9, will people drink green beer?

Maybe you could do deviled eggs, and dye the filling green? (I add mayo, salt, dill, a little bit of yellow mustard, and a great big dollop of horseradish... yum!) If you added a bit of minced ham to the filling, it could be Green Eggs and Ham ;)...

Hmmmm, now there's an idea. I should have thought of that for snacktime when I taught preschool!

All of these ideas are wonderful, but what about DESSERTS??

Mark, they sound yummy! I may use the pistachio pudding thing for my Easter dinner as a salad/jello. (I usually make a peach salad thing that sounds similar.) Bet it would go well with ham.

What about a fruit salad Ambrosia type thing, but with all green fruit? Grapes, kiwi, chunks of green apple, pears, honeydew melon, etc... (don't know how available those are where you live.. )
