Spring Forward.. and Thinking Green!
Irish Potato Cups with Marinated Cucumber Slices
We've turned the corner.. into March.. For me that always makes me think about Springtime.. More Daylight, The "fresh" Green
newness in the plants and trees, and a holiday that I have kinship to.. from my Irish ancestors, St Patrick's Day. Now with
a healthier look on life and foods to enjoy.. I enter this Spring with excitement about "greens" from our open-air market and
produce departments.. and thinking "green" in my menu planning. Think Fresh.. Think Green!!

1 English cucumber
