(MS) — On St. Patrick's Day, have a little fun in with a traditional Irish twist. Whether you're Irish or not, enjoy the festivities with some entertainment and food.

* Tint milk green, whether in a glass or in a bowl of cereal. (Serve with "Lucky Charms" perhaps?)

* Channel your inner Dr. Seuss by turning scrambled eggs into "green eggs and ham."

* Make a green smoothie with yogurt, juice and a banana, with a few drops of coloring added.

* Butter toast with green-tinted butter.

* Make pizza or pasta with a green pesto sauce.

* Serve olive loaf instead of bologna in a sandwich. It has circles of green olives throughout.

* Make sure kids' juice boxes are a green-colored variety.

* Create a fruit salad with mostly green fruits, such as green grapes, kiwis, honeydew melon, and green apples.

* Baked potatoes topped with green-tinted sour cream and chives will be a winner.

* A vegetable medley of green veggies, like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, and more can be served as a side dish or mixed as a casserole.

* While corned beef and cabbage are traditional Irish dishes, tint the cabbage green for a little more flair.

* Green food coloring added to mashed potatoes can liven mealtime up.

* Make a homemade Irish soda bread or another bread to serve at dinner and add green food coloring to the dough.

* What would St. Patrick's Day be without a green glass of beer? For the kids, tint ginger ale or a lemon-lime soda green.

* Create a green cocktail using Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur.

* Turn ice cream or milkshakes green using mint-flavored ice cream.

* Add green sugar sprinkles to cookies and cakes.

* Bake chocolate chip cookies using green M&M candies, instead of chips.

* Fill cream puffs with green-colored cream.
