St. Patrick's Day Lunch and Recipe Ideas!

St. Patrick's Day has always held a special place in our hearts. I don't know whether it's the shamrocks, the leprechauns, the pots of gold, or the corned beef and cabbage, we just really enjoy this holiday! We usually cook a St. Patty's Day meal at our house, but we also do some fun school lunches on or before the green celebration. This year is no different.

Here are a few ideas that we came up and one that we borrowed from a friend. If you want to find more, Pinterest is an awesome place to search. Also just search here on my blog for past ideas or just google "St. Patrick's Day Lunchbox Dad" for a list of them as well!

Rainbow Fruit Kabobs: We used strawberries, mango, pineapple, grapes, and blueberries, but you can use whatever fruit your family enjoys to make these colored treats.

Shamrock Sandwich: I didn't have a shamrock cutter so I used a heart shaped one on bread, spread on pesto, and topped with some cheddar cheese. You could also add turkey or chicken.

Leprechaun Hat: Cucumber hat with dried mango background. From my friend over at Creative Food!

Irish Flag: You could use anything green, white, and orange. I used snap peas, granola bar, and crackers.
