Happy Green Day!




We didn't do too much for St. Paddy's day this year. We all wore green, of course, and then I made green Shepherd's Pie (the potatoes had green food coloring) for dinner, and this super easy and tasty green dessert......


grasshopper parfaits


15 OREO Cookies, finely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped chocolate-covered mint patties
2 pkg. (3.9 oz. each) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
1 qt. (4 cups) cold milk
2 to 4 drops green food coloring
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

COMBINE chopped cookies and mint patties.

BEAT pudding mixes and milk with whisk 2 min. Let stand 5 min. Meanwhile, stir food coloring into COOL WHIP until well blended.

LAYER half each of the pudding, COOL WHIP and cookie mixture evenly in 12 parfait glasses or dessert glasses. Repeat layers. Refrigerate 30 min.

* I actually used the Mint Creme Oreo's and that worked really well!


Taevin even liked them!




I just realized I didn't get any pictures of Jenessa...but she was there wearing green and looking as cute as ever! ;)
