St. Patrick's Day Party ~ 2013

I love a good party. Especially planning and having them. At our house, the saying is..."Any excuse to have a party!" I love to cook, bake, entertain, and especially host! I love finding all the themed recipes, creating the pretty table decor, and having our friends over to enjoy!

This year we decided to have a St. Patrick's Day pre-going out party. We emailed/called friends to invite them and asked everyone to bring one "green" side dish. I did my research and came up with quite a few St. Patrick's Day themed food and a few green items as well. So much fun!

Everyone came over around 8 pm. We ate, drank, ate, laughed, drank, and ate some more. There was a plethora of food and it was all so yummy! All of us ended up staying at our house to continue the eating and drinking instead of going out. We were having too much fun to leave! Overall, our St. Patrick's Day party was fabulous and I know we will plan one again next year!

• Green tortilla Spicy Chicken Roll-Ups
