My favorite part of St. Patrick’s Day are the Shamrock Shakes, yummy yum. Did you know that you can make these at home for a fraction of the price? This recipe from The Chunky Chef is a McDonald’s copycat and tastes and looks like the real deal. My family LOVES when I make these!

Another fun green festive drink is this delicious Pistachio Latte that is a Starbucks copycat recipe. It is so good!!
