What do mini leprechaun hats, gold coins, mint cake, and Ruben sandwiches have in common? They were all part of our St. Patty's party on Saturday!

I found a recipe for a spinach-inspired appetizer. It was super-easy. Just take frozen spinach, Muenster cheese, Parmesan, bacon, salt, and green onion and spread on Puff Pastry sheets. Roll up and cut, then back at 375 for 10 minutes. |

The hosts: Even my dog got in on the holiday, with his green "faux hawk". |

My son and I donned mini-leprechaun hats. |

I added gold coins to my hurricanes and topped the candles with mini-hats. Then I added bowls of beer chips and pretzels to go with our green beers. |

I found clear plastic plates for easy clean up, and made each party-goer a green shamrock cookie with their name on it and used it as a place marker. |

On the menu? Mini Rueben Sliders. They are better than the real thing! Just buy the mini-loafs of Rye bread, add corned beef, sauerkraut (be sure to drain first in a napkin), Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing. Bake at 450 degrees for a few minutes. |
