St. Pat's Day is right around the corner. Consider this post your lucky charm. Yes, I am Irish, but I am not the biggest fan of the cuisine. So I was picky about this recipe roundup. Can you say Reuben Stuffed Potato Skins?

Williams Sonoma

Emerald Elixir

Isn't this the cutest? It is filled with fresh flavors from mint leaves, lemon juice, Absolute Citron, fresh basil, and St. Germain. Certainly not your average green beer offering.

Now let's get cooking, and soon shopping!

Looking for a non boring salad? This is it. " Chipotle chili seasoned turkey taco meat, mixed with fresh greens, black beans, avocado, mango, and a little cheddar cheese too. Topped with tortilla chips for crunch, and finished with a creamy Baja style dressing that’s spicy and cooling."
