Good for You Naturally Green Gluten Free Recipes! You’re gonna want to make them all after St.Patrick’sDayas well. DeliciousGreen Recipes to keep you healthy!
Well, we’ve made it pastSt. Patrick’s Day! If you’re like most, you might have celebrated a wee bit this past weekend. Hence the GOOD for YOU Green recipes today (recovery meals).
But if you’re like me, you spent your weekend recovering from a tiring previous week, and still need these recipes.
Win-win situation, yes?
So I gathered a few good (actually GREAT) recipes from fellow bloggers to create a FULL DAY of GREEN meals. This way we know you’ll get your greens in!
Side note humor: I was that kid who always wore excessive amounts of green on St. Paddy’s day for fear of being pinched. I grew up with three older brothers, I learned to always be cautious. ha!
Okay, now onto the recipes! Let me know if you try any.
