I had so much fun with food yesterday on St. Patrick's Day! For breakfast I made green scrambled eggs, Shamrock toast (toast cut with a shamrock cookie cutter and buttered with green butter! We watched video clips online about the history and traditions of St. Patrick's Day while they ate breakfast! In the boys lunches I made (green) white chocolate covered pretzels with green sprinkles, green pear slices, sandwiches with the Shamrock cookie cutter, and they have clear waterbottles, so I put a drop of green food coloring in their water! Green food coloring was my friend! They got some pretty great comments on their lunches! For dinner I didn't make traditional Irish food, instead I made Tortellini in Pesto sauce and Alfredo sauce mixed together and grilled chicken strips, homemade french bread and green lemonade and Pistachio Pudding Dessert! Unfortunately, the only photo I took was for the desserts. Here is the Recipe (I found it online at Cooks.com):

When my kids were little, I would make this dessert every summer for them. I guess I should make it for the grandkids! LOL BTW, it is good using other flavors of pudding, too.
Why not chopped pistachios, on top, instead of almonds?
Hi! Justa wanted to say hello and thanks for posting nice recipes! Keep on!! Merry Christmas!!! P.S. I will make this pistachio dessert but I will top it with cracked pistachios instead... My husband is alergic to almonds ;)
melt the butter?
I think I'd prefer pistachios on top also.
How far in advance would you make and refrigerate this for a holiday meal?
You can top it with 8 oz tub of cool whip. Also instead. Also you can use lemon pudding instead of pistachio .top with 8oz tub of cool whip.then break up lemon meringue butter buttons cookies found at Meijers grocery. Or vanilla waffers if you choose.
Can I use a cup of graham crackers instead of the walnuts in the first layer? My husband doesn't like any nuts.
Thank you. Sounds so good!!!
