Weekly Menu: March 11- March 17

With the coming of St. Patrick's Day, our little hearts are craving some good ol Irish food. So much so that one day is simply not enough for us! So here in our neck of the woods we'll be celebrating our Irish ancestors by eating some of their delicious fare for two whole days. (Even then, there's so much more we want to make!) When thinking about making your own St. Paddy's Day meal, get rid of the green food dye (it's bad for you anyway!) and have a glance at an Irish food pyramid to help you in your planning-  :)
