St. Pat's meal

Whisical Wednesday makes a comeback! Last night we had our fun crazy meal for St. Patrick's Day. It was all "kid" food with a colorful twist. I had to spend almost an hour this morning cleaning up the aftermath of the green explosion.

Let me explain...I don't usually use food coloring (the stuff I use for icing is a paste) so I was not prepared for how fast it came out of the bottle. I was expecting a slow drop by drop drip...uh, no. I never knew that mac and cheese could be so green! It was a little scary. Even after 4 hours in the fridge my jello wasn't firmly set. I think it was because I had a lid on it. Oh well, the kids didn't care, the slurpier the better. We also had green lemonade so everything was green!

Definitely not a healthy meal, but the kids enjoyed it. You have to give in every once in a while.
