St Paddy's All Over Again!

I like to joke that I'm Irish by marriage. But the truth is that St. Patrick's Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. In Colorado, St Paddy's Day would include the shortest parade ever and a pub day with friends and family. Out in Oregon, we decided to have people over, since Portland was going to be insane on the 17th with a big 5k and drunken shenanigans all in the same 10 block radius. 

Before people came over, we started the morning with green smoothies.

Then had some AMAZING vegan ruben sandwiches for lunch. Recipe here.

Before we knew it, peeps were here. 
We had cupcakes, which were the absolute bomb. Recipe here. 

And a family secret coleslaw which is not remotely irish. Very midwestern. 

Almost gone! 

And of course we played drinking games, like flip cup:

And had a fun time chatting...

I hope that you had an equally awesome St Paddy's Day! 

Thanks for reading! Best wishes and love from Portland.
