Do not Pinch Me! I’m wearing my Green!

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on March 17, 2010

Loved all the “Girls Gone Wild” stories :) .

From clif  diving to kite-surfing to running naked (!!), I think my “wild” story pales in comparison to some of yours!

.

.

Have you eaten anything green today? 

Although I didn’t make Key Lime Pie Pancakes, I still managed to get my green on at snacktime.

(Does my mom have the coolest St. Patrick’s Day vest or what??)

My Leprechaun-y Snack

Featuring neon green  Honeydew Ice Cream :)

Alongside coconut butter-topped 24-Carrot Cake Pancakes 

(ignore that they’re a bit dark; it’s how I like them)

Actually, this was yesterday’s snack.  But I’m sure that before the day is over, I’ll manage to eat something green. 

After all, many of the best foods are green:

Kale, kabocha, spinach, chard, mache, broccoli, Wild Bar wrappers, asparagus, kiwi, brussels sprouts, zucchini…

.

Question of the Day:

What’s your favorite green food?  Mine’s broccoli!!

Power Song of the Day: 

Come on Eileen

Apparently, it’s a popular pub song, so it fits with the day. Plus, it’s just an uber-peppy workout song!  But when I was running yesterday, I also heard mention of a leprechaun in Boom Boom Pow.  So that can be a double song of the day.

You know how people turn yellow when they eat too much squash? I wonder if the same thing could happen from eating too much green. Maybe I’ll find out today!

I planned on making some of those key lime pie pancakes you posted the other day (Rachel’s recipe) but my grocery store wouldn’t cooperate. They were out of key lime soy yogurt :(

Sophomore year of high school, my boyfriend dyed his arm green for st patty’s day with green koolaid. He couldn’t get it off for a few days … which makes me wonder why I was ever allowed to drink the stuff!

Evan Thomas March 17, 2010 at 3:26 pm

Mint is the best! It’s not incredibly green when it’s in foods, but it’s the flavor not presentation that matters with me :-)

Baby pancakes! Too cute! My fave green food is probably kale. Or maybe collards. Or asparagus. Broccoli is good too. I really can’t choose one.

Um, I’m ROFLing at Come On Eileen, because it’s such a drunken bar song. I like my pancakes on the burnt-ish side, too. Honey dew sorbet looks amazing. And YOU look amazing! That green jacket is the bomb!

Favorite green food? Um………. Honey dew, avocado, limes, green papaya salad, bok choy, kale, cucumber, kiwi, grapes..all of the best foods are green (haha..like SuperBad but with colors instead of phalluses).

Brussels sprouts and avocado are my favorite green foods. I started the day with a gigantic green smoothie and then a fat salad for lunch (iwth a side of kabocha fries). It’s been a very green-food day for me so far!

We seem to share a favorite green veggie…but avocado comes in a close second.

Right now my fave green food is zucchini. I can’t get enough of it!! I haven’t had any today though but I did have some honeydew :)

Pistachios and honeydew and broccoli and avocado… Man I wish I had some honeydew… And I really want to try to make something with key limes.

I’m definitely a broccoli girl as well. My boyfriend and I are not out celebrating for St. Patty’s day as we have too much homework to do and both agree it’s way too overhyped. However, he’s upstairs roasting us some broc as I type this so we’ll have a tasty green snack before bed. :) Yum!

Hmm I love so many green foods: grapes, avocado, leafy greens (spinach and chard and kale–yum), honeydew, pistachios, fresh herbs…it’s so hard to choose a favorite!

I agree, “Come On Eileen” really is a great workout song.

Soooo many favorite green foods! Kale probably tops the list – my green smoothie today was pretty awesome though….spinach, honeydew, kiwi & banana – yum!

Reply

Katie March 18, 2010 at 5:32 pm

You look GORGEOUS!!! Simply stunning :-)

Favorite green foods…hmm…I feel like I like EVERYTHING that’s green (except avocado…I know; i’m a freak of nature)….spinach, asparagus, sugarsnaps, broccoli, roasted-until-almost-all-black brussel sprouts, bok choy, crunchy iceberg, GREEN JUICE, mint ice cream, fresh pears…and I ONLY like bananas when they’re still underripe and green!
