Friday Favorite Finds #150

Is it just me, or do Friday’s come more quickly the older you get?  This week just flew by!  Today I am at a conference all about teaching ecology effectively to students, and I have the pleasure of presenting with a dear colleague.  That means I’ll have to save my browsing of your delicious finds until later this weekend. 

Here’s what I’m sharing today:

Copy-Cat Olive Garden Alfredo – I haven’t been out to eat in years, but in an earlier life I really enjoyed Olive Garden’s Alfredo.  Now, I know it doesn’t even come close to authentic Alfredo, but it was tasty.  It would be fun to see how this recipe compares to what I remember from the OG.

Guinness Beef Stew - We have a few Irish Beef recipes that we really enjoy, but this stew looks incredible. It would be a fun treat for St. Patrick's Day on Sunday.

DIY Shamrock Shake - My friend Liz shared this recipe, along with her story about how making a shamrock shake does not impart the luck of the Irish to the maker. I think these look fantastic.

5-Minute Mint Chocolate Chip Dip - what a fun idea! Although I wouldn't dye it green with food coloring, and would serve it with homemade cookies, it looks perfect for a party.

Broccoli Pesto Pasta - Just because it's green, and healthier than the other recipe finds today, I have to say I'm in love with this idea. We eat tons of broccoli and this looks like a fun way to change things up.
