You might be wondering where I fell off the earth to... lets just stick to the story that school is very hectic this semester. One thing that has saved me is the dinner group we created... it saves on money and time (both scarce around here) and we get to spend a little while each evening with our dear friends.So coming up in the next week is our annual green dinner party that we started my Sr. Year in high school (St. Patrick's Day). Now its growing and I need some ideas. I am looking for some good {preferably easier} dinner/ party food ideas that are green {or can be dyed with my favorite green food coloring ingredient}. Yellow is okay too, and if its Irish, it doesn't necessarily have to be the color green...
Also, another addition this year is possibly rainbow (as they go so well with leprechauns)... so does anyone have any ideas? Please?!

One year Ken made a meatloaf and then made really creamy mashed potatoes that he colored green. Then he "iced" the meatloaf with the potatoes like a cake and piped around the edge with my cake decorating tips to make scallops, etc. When he sliced the meatloaf, it looked really fun. On a side note, the kids refused to touch it! :-)
