Foodie Friday: Better Than A Pot Of Gold ~ 20 Green Recipes & Cooks' Tools

{ Via: Elle Decor }

Of course, everyone is a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. I am actually about 50% Irish, but not a fan of Irish food. It's either too salty, fatty, or plain for my taste. Or maybe I just haven't had it from the right source. What does tempt my tastebuds is eating anything green. It really is the healthiest color under the rainbow.  Today's recipe roundup showcases the Irish hue in all of its verdant varieties. Sláinte!
