I’ve been on the hunt for a St. Patrick’s Day recipe that doesn’t require artificial food coloring
. After watching a few food documentaries {including Hungry for Change
, Foodmatters
, and Fat Sick & Nearly Dead
} and learning about certain ingredients I’m trying to avoid I have almost entirely eliminated artificial food coloring. But what fun is St. Patrick’s Day without green food? With a little brainstorming and conversations with co-workers this brilliant idea was born! How about a spinach and chicken wrap with a yummy cream cheese spread on a spinach tortilla? Let me guess. I had you at cream cheese? I know – I love it too! But wait. There’s more. There’s a whole lot of goodness in that spread that I’ll get to in a moment. Let’s marvel for a moment at how festive this meal could be for your St. Patty’s Day lunch. Yes!
I’m focusing this month on recipes that take less than 30 minutes. This fits the bill. With a rotisserie chicken all the hard work is done for you. The cream cheese
mixture is almost the star of the show featuring sour cream, green chilies
, green onions and bacon bits
! Need I say more? Mix a little spread, sprinkle some spinach, sprouts, and chicken, roll it up and you are on your way. A great quick and easy lunch idea that’s perfect for the whole family.

I actually have not met Casey any of the times I’ve been there, he’s usually on location somewhere fun. Love them all though! You can catch me once a month bright and early, so if you watch Channel 2 Morning News – watch for me!

March 11, 2014 at 7:33 amMmm, wonderful idea for the green! I will definitely be trying this out and I will use the green tortillas for a breakfast burrito that day too or maybe a breakfast pizza….. Kids would probably be more receptive to the pizza for breakfast. :)
