Today is for the Irish!

There was nothing Greek on my menu today except for a container of Greek yogurt!  I don't have any Irish heritage, but I love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day so there was corned beef and all the boiled vegetables on the side - potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and onion.  It was so good!  Then my husband made a pineapple upside down cake for me with the cake batter colored green!  It was an early birthday celebration.  I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
I didn't bake anything for St. Patrick's Day this year, but my standard thing to make is green cupcakes.  I put green food coloring in the cake batter, use white icing, and add a few green sprinkles.  It just doesn't seem like St. Patrick's Day without those cupcakes, but a body can only handle so many calories!

It has been time to work in the garden.  My plants are growing really well with all this warm, sunny weather. I already started taking some out of their winter sowing jugs and replanting them in the ground.  My tomato seeds seemed to take a long time to sprout, but about half of them have sprouted now.  I just wish I knew how to get rid of the vole that keeps eating my plant roots.  It sure was nice to have an outdoor cat when we had one!
