St. Patrick’s day, it’s one of those holidays that most of
us love celebrating but we’re not sure why… and if you are over 21 years old,
you know how to celebrate it after work hours. This year why not bring St.
Patrick’s Day to the office? … After all it is on a Thursday. No, I am not
saying make work a party, but there are ways to have fun while still being
professional.
For instance, change up your wardrobe. Add a pop of green
into your outfit. Guys that can mean a tie, a shirt or even socks. And ladies
there is nothing wrong with a green dress, or green pants. But if all else
fails accessorize your outfit with some green. This is an easy way to show that
St. Patrick’s Day spirit at work but still remain professional.
Another way to bring the fun to work is with food! I am a
foodie so this idea makes me so happy, and it’s simple too! Get a group
together, it can be the entire office, your team or a few departments. It’s all
up to you. Now decide on what you’d like to do; breakfast, lunch or snacks.
Then plan.
Since I love food so much, I came up with some ideas that I
hope will help you have a fun and successful St. Patrick’s Day potluck.
If you’re kicking off the morning with breakfast, but sure
to have green coffee. This is easy to do and will add some excitement to the
office. Next, think of items you can die green that won’t affect the taste. Pre-make eggs that are green. Or bring in a waffle maker and make green waffles and
for the ones who don’t cook, pick up some green donuts or green muffins that
could be fun too.
Lunch time. This is my favorite time for a potluck because
you have so much more time to enjoy and you’re not cutting into work
hours. If you want to go all out with the Irish theme, chip in and
purchase corned beef and cabbage from somewhere. If that isn’t your thing, make
a veggie platter that looks like a rainbow. Make some avocado and dye taco
shells green or the meat green and have a taco day. See how creative you can
get with making the food items green. Another fun one is green mac and cheese.
Or really any type of Italian dish with green pasta. Oh and let’s not forget
the deviled eggs. That are also so tasty so why not make those green too.
So maybe you’re more of a dessert person… make a cupcake bar.
Pre-bake green cupcakes and bring as many green toppings as you can find.
Anything from green frosting to sprinkles and even candy. And if baking is your
thing, think about some green velvet cookies, a green cake and really anything
that’s key lime since that’s usually already green.
I think the options are endless when it comes to green
foods. So this St. Patrick’s Day bring the party to the office and have some
delicious tasting food that is… green! Enjoy yourself and be safe
tomorrow
night.
