Last year on St. Patrick's Day I posted my Favorite Green Things List. A bit cheesy, I must admit. So this year, I was really debating whether or not to post another "Green Foods on St Patrick's Day" post. Well I finally caved this afternoon when I realized that green foods are indeed some of my faves. So why not celebrate and Eat Green Foods on St Patrick's Day. And no, green beer doesn't count. Although I do find the green-hat-and-plastic-shamrock-necklace-wearing groups of students trolling through downtown NYC in search of green alcohol very very entertaining.Get my five fave green vegan recipes...Green foods are some of the healthiest around - they are also quite tasty! Green veggies and leafy greens have a wonderful grassy, salty, sweet, savory flavor to them. I remember in college I used to crave greens and would find myself eating baby spinach leaves right out of the bag around lunchtime. Kinda like chips! I guess I had already retrained my palate to crave healthy foods by then.
Here are my five fave green recipes. This was very hard to narrow down..
