St. Patrick's Day Green Pistachio French Toast

I was craving French toast all day today but it's St. Patrick's day so I could only eat 1) Irish foods or 2) Green foods. French toast doesn't fit in either of those categories, so I googled "St. Patrick's day French Toast" to see if there were any recipes I could make. Nothing really popped up so I just googled "French Toast" thinking that I could just dye the egg and milk mixture green. Then I found a recipe that used vanilla pudding in the dip with the egg and milk. It sounded good so I went to my cupboard to see if I had any vanilla pudding. I didn't, BUT, I did have pistachio pudding which is green! It was so yummy and flavorful and it is bright green! Perfect for this green day.

Green Pistachio French Toast

1 egg
1 - 1 1/2 cups milk
1 package instant pistachio pudding (You can use any pudding flavor you want, but this one makes it green)
Texas toast (I didn't have Texas toast so I just used regular white bread)

Whisk egg, milk, and pudding package together for about 2 minutes until well mixed. It turns out pretty thick so if you want it a little thiner, add more milk or add water.

Heat up large skillet or griddle. Dip bread into the egg/milk/pudding mixture, both sides like you would regular French toast making sure the whole surface is covered. Melt butter on the skillet and cook your French toast on it to desired state.

Green Goodness!

Put butter and syrup on it or whatever you would like!

Oreo Truffles

These are So So YUMMY and moist! Adam brought home one today for me and I had to find a recipe for these amazing little bites of joy. So we are actually making them right now and we are just chilling the oreo stuff for a little while.

I am going to make these for St. Patrick's day and use the green mint Oreos and then dye the white chocolate green so that it will be the perfect St. Patty's day treat of gift to give to neighbors or anyone else. These are seriously worth trying.

Oreo Truffles

1 bag Oreo Cookies, ground up in blender or food processor
1 8oz. packages of cream cheese, softened

2 cups white chocolate chips or 1 package Almond Bark (white chocolate candy coating)

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or 1 square of the Chocolate Bark for drizzling

1. Combine ground Oreos and cream cheese in mixer using paddle attachment until well mixed. Roll into 1 inch balls and place onto baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate overnight or until very firm. I did it for 45 min and it was okay.

2. Melt white chocolate in microwave for 1-2 minutes on 70% power. Using 2 little spoons, dip balls into chocolate and place onto parchment paper to harden. Once dry, melt dark chocolate and spoon into the corner of a ziplock baggie. Snip a small corner and drizzle back and forth over the truffles. Let dry.
