When Pink Fingers Turn Green...

Valentines Day, the day of <3 LOVE <3 and the time of year where everything is pink and red! Cookies, cakes and treats are all given that food colored tint to have them match the theme of the holiday! If you are a regular in the kitchen like me, you find your finger tips are stained pink for some time due to the over using of food coloring! When Valentines Day is over, the pink finger turn GREEN! St Patrick's Day is just around the corner and its time to whip out that green food coloring and go with the flow. Even my husband and friends are on board by turning their beers green. It's funny because they don't food color their beverages for any other holiday. lol. Anyway, don't whip out that food coloring just yet! Now that it is time to turn everything 'green', I thought I would share a really cool recipe that is already green and delicious!.
