Since traditional St. Patrick’s Day fare is hearty and substantial (corned beef and cabbage, anyone?), have a lighter, mostly green meal tonight.

Food Ideas

• Love to Cook: Spinach soufflé with spring herb salad
• Weeknight Reality: Quick fish tacos with avocado, cilantro and green cabbage
• Need a Miracle: Spinach salad topped with egg (boiled, fried or poached)

Parting Thought

“Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.”
― Virginia Woolf, Orlando
