March 17th (this coming Monday) is traditionally
the day when everyone digs deep and finds their inner Irish.
Some cities offer St. Patrick’s Day parades,
the Chicago River runs green for several hours and even the fountain in front
of the White House flows green.
Leprechauns guard their pots of gold and if you are lucky
enough to catch one, he must grant you a wish.
Of course, shamrocks abound.
If a Leprechaun happens to see you on St. Patrick’s Day he WILL
pinch. So prepare yourself and wear something
green – why you ask – legend has it that wearing green makes one virtually invisible
to Leprechauns. Good to know!
Of course, as with any other holiday or festivity it is also
an excuse to eat and drink. Green beer
is on tap at pubs and bars, Irish stew, potato salad and soda bread is a common choice on
menu selections. Lucky Charms
anyone? There are a few things you can
make to celebrate and still stay on a healthy eating plan.
These are some pretty self-explanatory examples. No recipe required!
VEGGIES
FRUIT
SNACK
And what about tomorrow? March 15th?
