6 St. Patrick’s Day Essentials
With St. Patrick’s Day coming up next week, its time to think about a few green essentials that we can incorporate into our festivities. Whether or not you are Irish, it’s always fun to get into the spirit and celebrate in style.
From cute dinner napkins and Irish coffee, to naturally green food and beer glasses, here are a few items that make us want to bust out a green shirt and get our party on!
1. Beer Glasses: What would St. Patrick’s Day be without beer! Whether you enjoy sipping out of a pint, stout, or stein, you’ll love this selection of glasses. They come in sets of 4, so your friends can drink beer too.
2. Irish Coffee: There’s coffee, and then there’s Irish Coffee. It’s the perfect way to kickstart your green day festivities.
3. Polka Dot Green Dinner Napkins: You don’t need to go spend a bunch of money to decorate your dinner table. Just get these cute green napkins from target and voila! You’ve decorated.
4. Fresh Green Pesto: When we think of St. Patrick’s Day food, that bright yucky food coloring is usually the first thing to come to mind. Not this year. We are going au natural and using things like this Homemade Pesto Recipe:
2 cups fresh basil
1/2 cup raw almonds or pine nuts
1/4 cup olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic
Blend all ingredients in the blender or food processor until combined and smooth. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
5. More naturally green food: If Pesto isn’t enough for you, here are a few more recipes that use the Irish’s favorite color.
6. Desserts: What celebration would be complete without a few sweet treats? Try some of these desserts. In the St. Patrick’s day theme, of course.
