    We do a big St. Patrick’s Day party every year at my house. The kids love being involved and helping me cook. I’m so happy to have found these recipes that don’t require food dye. Last year there was an incident with my youngest, the green dye, and my favorite rug. Luckily a good rug cleaning got the stain out but I’d like to avoid the same problem this year! Thank you so much for sharing!!
