Today I bring you fun with St. Patrick’s food. We have had a great time with our “Fun with Food Days” in the past. There was the original “Fun with Food” day and then the “Valentine’s Fun with Food.” Well, I just had to do it for St. Patrick’s Day. It has become a tradition. Do you like to tranform food for holidays too? You are in the right place.

Fun with St. Patrick’s Food – Breakfast
Breakfast was shamrock pancakes. I have a heart shaped pancake pan. Although I couldn’t find that on Amazon for you, I think you would enjoy these heart shaped pancake and egg rings and find many uses of them. Just add green food coloring
to make shamrocks or red food coloring to make hearts for Valentine’s Day. There are so many uses!

Fun with St. Patrick’s Food – Lunch
Lunch consisted of chicken nuggets gold at the end of the fruit rainbow. The cloud is vanilla Greek yogurt. New favorite snack – fruit dipped in vanilla Greek yogurt. This is so yummy. Any child would be delighted to see this served up any time of year. It sparks a child’s imagination.
Fun with St. Patrick’s Food – Snack
Snack was shamrock kiwi and grapes. Cut the grapes in half to create the smaller shamrocks. Cut the kiwi in slices for the larger shamrock. Did you know that you can eat the skin of kiwis? I’ve always served it to my kids this way. It provides a lot more nutrients.
Fun with St. Patrick’s Food – Dinner
Our last meal was pesto tortellini with broccoli. Another fun with food day complete. Every meal – all day – for St. Patrick’s Da.
I hope you will have a lot of fun creating your own fun food on St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy!

My kids love green jello cut with shamrock cookie cutters. It’s simple and a huge hit!
But I’m going to try the rainbow fruit idea with chicken nuggets this year too!
Love that. I hope it is a big hit! Happy St. Patick’s Day!
