St. Patrick’s Day Round Up

Today I have a St. Patrick’s Day Round Up of some yummy recipes!

• Key Lime Coconut Parfaits – This delicious dessert with layers of graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream, and a lime coconut pudding mixture made from scratch.
• Lime Cream Puffs – These cream puffs have a little green food coloring added to the pastry to make them a beautiful shade of green.  Then they include a creamy lime filling.  
• Mini Chocolate Baked Doughnuts – These donuts were not only yummy, but fun.  They end up to be a little smaller than the Hostess donettes.  They are a fun size and are perfect for little kids.

• St. Patty’s Day Brownies -These good old brownies include an additional swirl of green colored cream cheese batter.  They are simple yet festive.
• Pistachio Salad – This is one of my family’s favorite salads. It really could classify as a dessert. This salad is one that has been around for ages. It is also known as Watergate Salad.
• Cool Mint Oreo Brownie Cupcakes – These babies have cool mint oreos mixed into the brownie batter.  Then they get a topping of buttercream frosting, followed by another mint oreo. 
• Reuben Sandwich – You can make it using frozen bread dough or with my homemade dough recipe below.
• Chocolate Mint Brownies – The brownie layer is nice and dense, rich, chewy, gooey, fudgy goodness.  Next, you have a nice good layer of minty frosting.  Then you end with the ganache that’s rich, smooth, and chocolaty. 

•  Shamrock Shake – This is my copy cat recipe of McDonald’s Shamrock shake.
• Green Fruit Salad – This salad includes green grapes, Granny Smith apples, and kiwis. I top it with a  a spoonful of my Shockingly Simple Fruit Dip. 
• Green Velvet Cupcakes – These all begin with a cake mix.
• Pistachio Cupcakes – These pistachio cupcakes turn out very light, moist, and fluffy.  
• Thin Mint Cupcakes – This have crushed thin mint cookies in the cake batter.
