I’m not entirely sure why, but there’s something so awesome about eating colorful food. While it’s definitely a lot better for you, I’m not talking about “eating the rainbow” and filling your plates with bright, healthy, colorful food. I was thinking more along the lines of artificially colored cookies and cupcakes. Aside from the partying and general high spirits, eating colorful sweets is probably the best part about holidays. This St. Patty’s Day, all you really need is a bit of luck and these super fun green treats!
