The Jolly Green Party

On St. Patrick's Day, several of my friends and I got together for a green-themed party. Almost all dishes had green in them, except the chicken lasagne rolls, which were added because we didn't realize the salad would have chicken in it. Here is our menu and a picture:

• Chicken lasagne rollups
• Salad with marinated chicken
• Green grapes and other fruit with fruit dip
• Green beans with bacon and almonds
• Mint brownies
• Green-tinted oreo truffles

In the Pink

In honor of Valentine's Day, my friend April, her daughter Courtney, and I had a pink party. Our original plan had been to have only pink or red foods. However, we discovered that red food coloring could work wonders! In the end, our menu consisted of:

• Pink mashed potato pie
• Pink macaroni and cheese
• Pink onion dip with chips
• Pink m&ms
• Cherry and cheesecake Hershey Kisses
  
• Oreo truffles in pink, white, and black
• Cherry coke
• Sunrise punch

I will admit that pink mashed potatoes messed a little bit with our minds, because it looked more like pink frosting. But it was all delicious. Below is a picture. Click on it to view it larger in photobucket.
