We have done a few things for St. Patty's Day in the past- green food- jello, mashed potatoes, green rolls, pistachio torte, etc. There is actually a pretty good recipe for cornbeef and cabbage in the Mormon Celebrations cookbook that is cooked in the crockpot. It has red potatoes & carrots with it. You add the cabbage last, so it's not soggy, then melt a whole bunch of butter over the entire dish. Not too bad. We are up for new ideas if you have any.
Also- Mel does a funny tradition for St. Patty's Day that I started also. Leprechauns turn your milk green in the middle of the night. Then make a big deal about how kids can drink green milk, but if adults drink it their feet turn green (you have already colored the bottom of your feet green with a marker, then put socks on). Drink the milk, then let the kids check your feet. This is so funny, but the first year I did it, my 2 little ones cried and cried. They didn't like that idea. Hee hee.
