Printable Irish Blessings {Repost}

I wasn't going to do another Irish blessing printable today because I just did one last week, but then I thought this is the only time of year I'll do these, so I might as well get them in while I can.  

And in case you missed last week's Irish blessing printable, here it is. 

I hope you enjoy these printables.  Simply click on each image to print them out.

  Are you ready for St. Patrick's Day?  We had our little leprechaun visit again tonight.  He left Harry Potter Bertie Bott's (we're reading the books together- we're almost done with #4).  My boys thought they were the coolest thing ever!  However, the vomit flavored bean held true to it's name.  One of my twins may or may not have had a very strong reflux reaction to it.  We made it to the bathroom just in time, I'm glad to say.  They thought that part was even cooler than the unusual names and flavors of the beans.  I really never have a dull moment with my three boys around!  We'll see what our little leprechaun does or leaves tomorrow.

Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.

Key Lime Pie Fruit Dip {Repost}

I had several recipes in mind for today, but I had to put them all on hold and do one more green recipe.  I can't help it!  St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and I'd feel too Scrooge-ish (and a bit guilty) if I didn't.

Funny story about this recipe.  I went to our local Ridley's (it's a small one) to grab a key lime pie yogurt, and they were totally wiped out!  I was in desperate need for pictures, so I improvised, and opted for pina colada yogurt (Western Family brand) and added green food coloring.  I'm kind of glad they were out of the key lime pie.  I love the key lime pie, but the pina colada turned out to be delicious!  So, you can use either for your St. Paddy's Day food.

I really should quit prefacing my recipes like this, and just mention the ones that don't come from her, (which would be far fewer) but this recipe comes from my sister.  She made it the last time we were together, and my boys devoured it!  I devoured it!  I loved the flavor, but even more I loved how easy it was.  I have several fruit dip recipes, and I love them all, but some are a bit of work.  This one has two ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

*Cool Whip (we used light)

*Key Lime Pie Yogurt (we used light Yoplait key lime pie yogurt)

*Green fruits for dipping (grapes, kiwis, green apples, pears, honeydew)

 Simply fold the Cool Whip into the yogurt one big spoonful (I used 2 spoonfuls for my 6-oz. container of yogurt) at a time until you've reached your desired flavor.  Cut up your fruits, and serve with the dip.  That's it!  And of course you can use any fruit (bananas, oranges, strawberries, etc…) I just mentioned green ones for St. Patrick's Day.

I love to put together a green breakfast for my boys on St. Patrick's Day morning, and that usually involves key lime pie yogurt, but this year we're going to mix it up a bit, and do the key lime pie fruit dip. 

And after all the green inspired foods have died down in a few days, try experimenting with other yogurt flavors.  We've done it with the orange creme yogurt, and it's amazing as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.

We're on our way up to Cache Valley for the weekend, and I'm feeling a bit behind on a few things, so here's a repost for your from last year's St. Patrick's Day printables.  Hope you enjoy it!

Lucky Me Printable

 I have to say I really prefer the word blessed over lucky, but in the spirit of all things lucky for St. Patrick's Day, I'm going with lucky today.

All my boys (little boys and husband) come to mind whenever I hear this phrase.  I am beyond lucky (blessed) to have all of them in my life!

And lucky us for Rhonna Designs.  She's amazing!  I thoroughly enjoy creating printables with her app.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.

UPDATE
Unfortunatley, allowing you to print this printable by Rhonna's App is in violation of the EULA.  You can use my image as a guide to create your own.  Sorry!

Key Lime Pie {Or Pina Colada} Fruit Dip

I had several recipes in mind for today, but I had to put them all on hold and do one more green recipe.  I can't help it!  It's the week of St. Patrick's Day, and I'd feel too Scrooge-ish (and a bit guilty) if I didn't.

Printable St. Patrick's Day Tic-Tac-Toe {@ Or So She Says}

Tuesday, Tuesday.  And the second Tuesday of the month, which means I'm spending the day over at Or So She Says.

We're down to the week before St. Patrick's Day.  Do you need a quick, fun activity to do at a party, or just at home with your kiddos?  Well, come and visit me today.  I have a printable St. Patrick's Day tic-tac-toe game you can have ready to go in no time.  You can print out the game board, and two different sets of shamrocks.  Simple, quick, easy, and sure to be a hit with the kids.  Three in a row wins!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.

P.S.  Any leprechaun sightings at your house as of lately?  We've had a few shamrocks, and treats left from a mysterious visitor over the past few days.  My boys are gearing up their trap for the big day!

Mint Chocolate Brownies

I love all desserts, but I have to say mint and chocolate are probably my two favorite flavors to combine in a yummy dessert recipe.  And anything minty green goes with St.Patrick's Day, so here's one of the best!

I originally found this recipe in my Best Bites Cookbook.  If you know Sarah and Kate at all, then you know they're recipes are always amazing!  I knew these brownie would not disappoint.

When I make these brownies, I do adapt the recipe just a bit.  I don't make Sarah and Kate's brownies.  I just make their mint frosting and chocolate glaze.  I always use my sister-in-law's blue ribbon brownie recipe for the brownie part, or I've even just used a Lehi Roller Mills brownie mix.  If you're going to use a boxed brownie mix, try to find one that is more cakey than fudgey.  It just makes spreading the frosting on top of the brownies a bit easier.

So, visit Our Best Bites' mint brownie recipe (the mint frosting and chocolate glaze are included there) link, and click here for my sister-in-law's blue ribbon brownie recipe.  Mix and match the recipes to your liking.

I could eat an entire pan of these without a single problem, and I'm sure most people could.  Brownies are always a weakness of mine, but when you add the light minty frosting and the chocolate glaze on top, it's  perfection!  The ideal St. Patrick's Day dessert!

St. Patrick's Day Printable

Are you a St. Patrick's Day fan?  It's kind of one of those holidays that not everyone is really into, especially when it comes to decorating for it.

I have to admit I've never really decked out my house in green for the Irish-inspired holiday, but I can't have any holiday pass by without a bit of decor here and there.  Plus, Easter isn't until the end of next month, so a little St. Paddy's day decor is kind of fun, hence today's printable.  I hope you enjoy it.

And once again, a big thank you to Rhonna Designs and her app for making today's printable so easy!

March Pinterest Board

March has definitely come in like a lion here in Midway.  One of my twins was up from 4:00 on Saturday morning with a bad stomach ache, and all we heard in those early morning hours was the howling of some really strong winds.  Here's to hoping the month will leave really leave like a lamb.

Follow Brooke @ blissfulroots.com's board March on Pinterest.

It's my first post of the month, so that usually means sharing a new Pinterest board with you.  Today I have my March board to share with you.  Lots of fun green and minty foods, and St. Patrick's Day activities. 

I really like when St. Patrick's Day and Easter get to have their own month.  Trying to squeeze two holidays into one month is a bit too much for me.  Luckily this year, Easter isn't until April 20th, so we can give proper time and attention to each holiday.  Plus, when Easter is in April here in Midway, we're less likely to have snow for our Easter egg hunts.

And if you like my March board, you can click here to see (and follow along) all 98 of my other Pinterest Boards.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.
