Green Is In...

....Almost St. Patty's Day again.  Parade's are happening today; the excitement is building.  We have snow on the east coast.  I'm meeting a dear old friend tonight.  I'm happy - gotta wear something green.  I was thinking of having an Apple Tini but settling for a green margarita. 

Apple Tini's are fun to have for St. Patrick's Day.  Here is a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka
• 1 oz green-apple schnapps

Preparation:

1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
2. Shake well.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. 

In starting on some early spring cleaning and organizing I liked some tips from GOOP.

In thinking on spring cleansing I've been focusing on juices and smoothies.  Friend, Matthew Kenney, and his M.A.K.E are leading the way.  

Try a green juice for St. Patrick's Day...

Try a Matthew Kenney Cranberry Juice or Blueberry Smoothie.

There are some good juices to purchase outside of a juice bar and making your own with a vitamix or juicer such as the Naked Juice line.  Happy cleansing, cleaning, celebrating!
