Last year on St. Patrick’s Day I posted my Favorite Green Things List. A bit cheesy, I must admit. So this year, I was really debating whether or not to post another “Green Foods on St Patrick’s Day” post. Well I finally caved this afternoon when I realized that green foods are indeed some of my faves. So why not celebrate and Eat Green Foods on St Patrick’s Day. And no, green beer doesn’t count. Although I do find the green-hat-and-plastic-shamrock-necklace-wearing groups of students trolling through downtown NYC in search of green alcohol very very entertaining.Get my five fave green vegan recipes…
Green foods are some of the healthiest around – they are also quite tasty! Green veggies and leafy greens have a wonderful grassy, salty, sweet, savory flavor to them. I remember in college I used to crave greens and would find myself eating baby spinach leaves right out of the bag around lunchtime. Kinda like chips! I guess I had already retrained my palate to crave healthy foods by then.
Here are my five fave green recipes. This was very hard to narrow down..

For my green Saint Patrick's day (apart from a yummy green salad, of course) I made some Golden Vanilla cupcakes (from "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World") and topped them with the chocolate frosting you posted in that strawberry-chocolate birthday cake post and on top of that, I layered the cashew frosting from your b-day cupcakes and colored it green! These are my now go-to frosting recipes.
