There is no denying that
Irish eyes are smiling
come the month of
March. With the widely cele-
brated and festive Saint
Patrick's Day arriving mid-
month, the parades and sham-
rocks might overshadow the fact
that there's more to Irish her-itage than Saint Patrick's Day.
In fact, the entire month of
March is dedicated to Irish-
American heritage.
In 1840, many Irish people
immigrated to North America
to escape the great potato
famine happening in Ireland.
Today almost 40 million people
claim Irish ancestry, and there
are millions of Irish-Americans
making contributions to theUnited States each and every
day, with notable Irish-
Americans in all walks of life.
Here are just a handful of people
of Irish heritage who have made
strides in their respective disci-
plines through the years.
Charles Carroll III: Carroll
was born in Maryland where
there were once laws to prohib-
it Catholics from voting, hold-
ing office or worshiping
publicly. Carroll became a
Catholic-rights activist and also
served as a U.S. Senator in the
first Congress. He holds the title
as the only Catholic to havesigned the Declaration of
Independence.
Harry "Bing" Crosby: Crosby
was an acclaimed entertainer
whose contributions are still
valued today, more than three
decades after his death. A singer
and actor, his trademark
smooth, baritone voice helped
catapult Crosby to the list of top
record sellers for the twentieth
century. One of the first peopleto receive three stars on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame,
Crosby also earned an Academy
Award for Best Actor for his
role as Father Chuck O'Malley
in the 1944 motion picture
"Going My Way."
Henry Ford: The American
auto industry can give thanks to
the eviction of John Ford from
Cork in 1847, which enabled
the Ford family to move to the
States shortly after. John's son
Henry became an automobilepioneer and helped pave the
way for the dominance and pop-
ularity of the American car.
John Hughes: Many people say
that Hughes' popular teen
movies documented their own
teenage years. Hughes is best
known for a string of quirky, yet
spot-on depictions of the aver-
age American teenager that
helped start the careers of actors
who would go on to be known
as the "Brat Pack". In the 1990s,
hits like "Home Alone" and"Curly Sue" also resonated with
audiences and helped solidify
Hughes as a leader in family
entertainment. He passed away
in 2009 from a heart attack.
Ron Howard: One of
Hollywood's most successful
Notable Irish-Americans

Do you remember your
first real career job?
Were you bright-eyed
and ready to take on the world,
claim your stake, make your
stand, carve-out your place in
the working world and create
your path to financial inde-
pendence? Were you charged-
up, enthused, motivated, stim-
ulated and in great anticipation
of your first real serious pay-
check? How did it feel when
the payroll cycle came to pass
and you looked at the paystub
for the first time to realize the
terms: FICA, FED WITH,
SUI, STATE TAX, ESOP or
UNION DUES or PENSION
CONT or 401k withdrawal
and how that reduced your
gross pay resulting in that min-
imal net pay figure? Were you
let down? Did you think they
must have made a mistake?How could it be possible that
there are so many and such
severe deductions? Will I get
some of that back at tax return
time? Did you try to play with
your exemption status to
increase the net pay? And from
the net pay there were the con-
stant and never ending utility
bills, car insurance payments,
loan payments, credit card bills,
rent or mortgage payments, car
repairs, food bills and enter-

tainment expenses like dating,
travel and vacations.
Did you tell yourself that
retirement is decades away and
that eventually you would getserious about it when you could
afford to seriously address it or
when you got a raise or bonus?
Were you correct and did you
keep your promise? Were you
relieved when you found your
spouse and soul mate to share
your lives together and to pool
your resources for the greater
good, including bill paying
relief and the ability to make a
serious consideration to retire-ment allocations? Did you allo-
cate serious funds to your
retirement planning and port-
folio at that time? Did your
spouse and working partner
eventually get pregnant and
leave the work force to be a
more involved parent saying
that when the child was old
enough for school she would
re-enter the work force to allo-
cate serious funding for retire-ment planning at that time?
Did it come to pass or were
those great intentions derailed
by the birth of your second
child. By now you had found a
better job or received bonuses
and raises; did you carve-out amajor percentage of the raises
and bonuses explicitly for
retirement funding yet?
Were there extracurricu-
lar activities like dance classes,
music instruction, and karate
lessons, summer camp, winter
skiing or educational tutoring?
These expenses no doubt cut
into funds that otherwise
would have been directed to
IRAs or other retirement accu-mulations. The kids got older
and now college tuition plan-
ning entered the foray also
deriding the retirement accu-
mulation desires. Along the
way, cost of living expenses
rose, property taxes increased,
pay raises and bonuses were less
plentiful or eliminated alto-
gether. Before you know it 25
years have passed since that
first paycheck! You sit backand critique your ambitions,
decisions, successes and failures
and more importantly the
account balances and portfolio
values. What do I do now you
may ask? Youre about 50 and
retirement is looking more likean illusion rather than a right!
You rationalize this with the
fact that youll work to age 70,
giving you 20 more years to
accumulate your fortune.
Perhaps there will be a small
inheritance from either your
parents or hers to give you a
retirement boost, and if I delay
Social Security that ultimate
check will be bigger anyway!
The stock market hasnt been
too friendly to your 401k any-
way, or to your non-qualified
portfolio either. Now will be agreat time to get started you
say. College tuition is firmly
upon you now and the
prospects for future employ-
ment with your current
employer or other companies
in your industry are shaky at
best. Your property taxes are
now 5 times more than your
first home and the price of a car
has quintupled since your first
car purchase. Lo and behold,
you are paying to insure 4 cars
now, yours, hers and the two
kids. Perhaps youve thought tostart a vegetable garden to save
some money at the grocery
store which has escalated your
food budget by 300% over the
last 25 years. At this point in
your life you fully understand
the erosion factures of infla-
tion. You begin to calculate
the required nest egg to be able
to generate enough monthly
income for you and your part-
ner to live modestly for the rest
of your natural lives. The con-
clusion is you need help; you
need a competent financialadvisor! In fact, you need an
expert to put the pieces of your
financial puzzle in order before
its too late, a retirement and
estate planning specialist that
has the knowledge and ability
to craft a guaranteed* lifetime
retirement income plan from

Scientists have identifiedtwo substances in
licorice used extensive-
ly in Chinese traditional med-
icine that kills major bacteria
responsible for tooth decay
and gum disease. In a study, in
the Journal of Natural prod-
ucts, they say these substances
could have a role in treatingand preventing these afflic-
tions.
The study found that the
compounds Licoricidin and
Licorisoflavan A were the
most effective antibacterial
substance. These are capable
of killing two of the major
bacteria responsible for cavi-
ties and three of the bacteria
that promote gum disease.
The dried root of the
licorice plant is a commontreatment in Chinese tradi-
tional medicine. Licorice
candy in the U.S. has replaced
licorice root with anise oil
that tastes similar. Some day
licorice root could be used to
treat or even prevent oral
infections.

H
ow common is a
headache? Accor-
ding to recent scien-
tific studies, it is becoming
alarmingly common!
Research from Finland
shows the incidence of both
general and migraine headache
in children increased markedly
between 1974 and 1992. Using
the same methodology and
school environments in both
studies, researchers found in
1974 about 14% of a large sam-
ple of 7-year old children suf-
fered from headache and less
than 2% from migraine. In
1992 these figures leaped
almost four-fold to 52% for
headache and 6% for migraine.
American researchers,
using national statistics, report-
ed the prevalence for migraine
in the adult population
increased about 60% from 1980
to 1989. The highest increase
was found in women youngerthan 45 years. A third study,
also from the United States,
revealed a sharp increase of
migraine between 1979 and
1991 in persons under 45 years,
a jump of 34% in women and
nearly 100% in men.
Several theories have
been suggested to help explain
these startling statistics.
Increased stress in our lives,
both for adults and children, is
one of the more common. This
theory lacks credibility, howev-
er, as many authorities agree
the factors that contribute to
stress have not changed signifi-
cantly over the past decades.
More likely the dramatic
increase in headache is multi-
factoral: diet, fitness level, rest,
pollution and allergy, time
spent sitting at desks, computer
screens and watching television
and, yes, stress.
Perhaps the single most
important factor may be pos-
ture. Simply put, we slouch
more. Research is now show-
ing posture affects not onlymuscle and joint function, but
also function of the nervous
system. We are learning that
the static (postural, structural)
and dynamic (mechanical,
functional) state of our necks
has a profound relationship to
headache, both general and
migraine. Fortunately, posture,
like diet, fitness, sleep and time
spent sitting, is something we
can change.
If you would like more
information about the relation-
ship between posture and
headache, ask your chiroprac-
tor.

In the last article we learned
that dogs become senior cit-
izens just like people. The
same is true for our feline fami-
ly members. As veterinary
medicine advances, our cats are
living longer, and certain
changes are expected as our
cats age. These dont have to
be negative changes. We can
help them adapt with minimal
effort by diagnosing problems
early, modifying the cat's envi-
ronment, diet and interaction
with us.
Age itself is not a disease
but the following are issues that
are more common in our senior
cats. Addressing these changes
and diagnosing diseases early
are essential to the health of
your older cat. Preventative
veterinary care can add years
and quality to the life of your
cat, which can include early
detection blood work and com-
plete veterinary exams every 6
months for our senior pets.
Arthritis is one of the
most under diagnosed diseases
in older cats. The changes are
very subtle and older cats are
more sedentary which makes it
very difficult to observe if
theyre having joint pain.
What you may see is difficulty
jumping onto counters, win-
dow sills or going up and down
stairs. This may lead to other
problems like not using the lit-
ter box, especially
if they have to
travel up or down
stairs to get to it or
if the litter box
has high sides.
Cats are sensitive
to many anti-
i n f l a m m a t o r y
medications such
as aspirin and
acetaminophen.
Do NOT give
your cat an anti-inflammatory
or pain relief medication unless
prescribed by your veterinari-
an. A very safe and effective
supplement to start them on is
glucosamine and chondroitin
(as prescribed from your veteri-
narian). Also make sure their
litter box and bowls are on the
same level of the house where
they spend most of their time.
Obesity is one of the main
health problems of middle age
cats. This should be addressed
early because, as a senior, it can
predispose them to diseases like
diabetes and heart disease or
just make other issues worse
like arthritis. Its harder to get
the weight off a senior cat, so
do it now by measuring the
food given, not just keeping the
bowl full and by increasing
their exercise.A veterinarian
can help you monitor their
weight and body condition and
adjust the diet accordingly.
Dental disease is one of
the most common changes we
see in senior citizen cats. By the
age of four, more than 70 per-
cent of cats exhibit signs of
dental disease. Preventative
dental care including tooth
brushing, dental treats, regular
dental checkups, and profes-
sional cleaning as needed are
aimed at keeping dental disease
to a minimum.
Without proper
dental care, signif-
icant dental dis-
ease can develop
which could lead
to pain and life-
threatening com-
plications.
Older cats
may need to be
groomed more
often. Grooming
is a great way for you to spend
enjoyable time with your older
cat and is a means to check for
any lumps, bumps, sores,
etc. In an older cat, the fur may
become thinner or duller; how-
ever, this can also be a sign of
disease or nutritional deficien-
cy. If your cats coat changes
significantly, you should con-
sult with a veterinarian.
A n o t h e r
change to closely
monitor for is
increased thirst
or urination. This
may be the earli-
est sign seen in
older cats for
many diseases,
most commonly,
kidney insufficiency, diabetes
mellitus and hyperthy-
roidism. These diseases can be
detected even earlier with early
detection/wellness blood work
which can be performed at your
cats 6 or 12 month exams.
Many diseases tested for with
this type of panel are simply
and effectively treatable with-
out putting the cat through a
lot. By finding disease process-
es early, oftentimes there is a
better prognosis for a longer
and happier life.
Our senior cats need to be
monitored more closely.
Knowing what changes to
expect and what to look for can
help you and your cat adjust
when and if they do come.
Dont disregard any changes as
'just being old age.' These could
be early signs of a more serious
disease. Always consult your
veterinarian if you are in doubt
or notice changes. We owe it
to our longtime companions to
take care of them in their sen-
ior years as much as we did
when they were kittens.

Did you ever notice the
little boy on the soc-
cer field who just
could not quite kick the ball,
tripped over people and had
poor coordination when try-
ing to dribble? Or the little
girl in ballet class who had a
difficult time imitating the
teachers body movements
and sequencing the dance
steps? What about the first
grader on the playground who
constantly barged into other
children and just didnt seem
to see obstacles in front of him
causing him to trip and fall
constantly? Most people refer
to these children as clumsy,
but there may be a better
explanation.
For the last 100 years
poor motor coordination or
clumsiness has been recog-
nized as a problem. Recently,
the term Developmental
Coordination Disorder
(DCD) has been used when
referring to children with
motor coordination difficul-
ties. This is a fairly common
childhood disorder and is usu-
ally identified in school age
children between the ages of
6-12. Studies indicate that
the prevalence of DCD is esti-
mated at 8-12% of all school-
aged children with more boys
diagnosed than girls (2:1). As
a result of the wide diversity in
the DCD diagnosis, finding its
true cause has been difficult
and is unknown at this time.
Some speculate that DCD can
be caused by an injury that
occurs before or during the
birthing process. Others say
that DCD is a result of damage
on the cellular level.
In order for a child to be
diagnosed with DCD it must
impact on some aspect of his
or her life. These children
often exhibit poor balance,
tripping on uneven surfaces,
an awkward running pattern,
dropping items, frequent trip-
ping and falling, difficulty imi-
tating body positions and fol-
lowing 2-3 step motor direc-
tions. These motor problems
will affect the childs ability to
complete motor oriented
tasks. Because of these prob-
lems, children often perform
poorly in sports demonstrating
slow reaction and movement
times. Since these children do
not feel successful when par-
ticipating in sports, they may
feel insecure. This insecurity
can lead to a more sedentary
lifestyle for the child thus
causing poor muscular
strength, decreased muscle
force and ultimately weight
gain. Unfortunately, children
with DCD may experience
other difficulties, besides the
physical limitations. These
children may exhibit psy-
chosocial problems. Because
these children may not excel
in one area, they may seek less
socially desirable types of
attention. They may be the
class clown or act out more
often than the other children.
Adolescents with DCD have
been found to have fewer
friends, lower self esteem and
more anxiety than their peers
without DCD.
Historically parents have
been told not to worry about
their childs clumsiness. The
child will outgrow the prob-
lem. However, current
research states that children
do not outgrow clumsiness
and without intervention, will
not improve.
Motor control processes
are complex and depend on
integrating the sensory, per-
ceptual, cognitive and motor
systems. A skilled Pediatric
Physical Therapist can work
on integrating all of these sys-
tems to assist the child in
working toward age appropri-
ate functional goals. By
breaking down components of
a task, practicing each compo-
nent repetitively and translat-
ing the new skill into the
childs natural environment,
motor skills can be greatly
improved, confidence and self
assuredness enhanced and
enthusiasm and participation
in sports and age appropriate
games greatly increased. I
have worked with hundreds of
children with symptoms that

In a press release from
January 31, 2012, IRS com-
missioner Doug Shulman
announced the results of a
nationwide effort to cut down
on identity theft and refund
fraud. The IRS worked in con-
junction with the Justice
Department's Tax Division and
local U.S. Attorneys' offices to
target more than one hundred
people across twenty-three
states. The sweep resulted in
939 criminal charges against
would-be tax frauds.
In addition to the sweep,
IRS auditors and investigators
visited approximately 150
money-service businesses to
conduct extensive compliance
visits and insure these business-
es aren't engaged in practices
which may facilitate refund
fraud and identity theft.
Taxpayer identity theft
normally occurs when a thief
uses a legitimate taxpayer's
identity to falsely file a tax
return and claim a refund. A
victim of identity theft is rarely
aware their identity has been
stolen until he or she attempts
to file a legitimate return later
in the tax season and discovers
that another return has already
been filed using their Social
Security Number.
If you receive an IRS noti-
fication for any of the following
reasons, you should take imme-
diate action:
More than one return was filed
for you in a single tax year
You have a balance due,
refund offset or have had col-
lection actions taken against
you for a year you did not file a
tax return, or
IRS records indicate you
received wages from an
employer unknown to you.
Immediately respond to the
name and number printed on
the letter if you receive such
notification.
The IRS advises you to
minimize your risk of identity
theft by:
Rarely carrying your
Social Security card or docu-
ments with your SSN on them.
Disclosing your SSN only
when required. Many business-
es may ask for your SSN but do
not actually need it. Do not
give out your SSN unless
absolutely necessary.
Protecting your financial infor-
mation, both online and in
print.
Checking your credit
report periodically. You may
check your credit without
charge once a year at
www.equifax.com, www.exper-
ian.com, or www.transunion
.com. By using each of these
services only once each year,
fall into this category with
excellent and permanent
results that both parents and
children are greatly pleased
with.

Many parents can
attest to the chal-
lenges in encourag-
ing children to eat healthily,
including incorporating plenty
of fruits and vegetables into
their daily diets.
Children tend to become
picky eaters for a number of
reasons, according to the
UCSF Benioff Children's
Hospital. Some children are
just naturally more sensitive to
taste, texture and smell of some
foods. Others may learn their
picky eating from parents who
pick and choose among their
meals. Still other children learn
to be selective through bribes
and punishments around meal-
time.
However, there needn't
been fussing and feuding over
food choices -- particularly pro-
duce -- when parents employ a
few creative ideas to entice
children to dig into healthy
foods.
1.Ask for your child's help:
Have your child ride along to
the grocery store and take an
active role into picking out
healthy foods that he or she
may be willing to try. Most
nutrition experts find that if
children take an interest in
what they will be eating, and
are instrumental in making
some choices, they will have a
higher rate of eating those
meals and foods.
2.Understand your child's eat-
ing habits: Some children will
eat the crown of broccoli but
leave aside the stems. There are
kids that will eat anything as
long as it's dunked in ketchup.
They may enjoy pears as long as
they are cut up into pieces with
the skin removed. Pay atten-
tion to how your child likes to
eat the food and present it that
way. It could mean fewer argu-
ments at the dinner table.

3.Explore new flavor combina-
tions: Oftentimes mixing cer-
tain flavor combinations can
entice children to eat foods
they may have never consid-
ered trying. Just think about
the popularity of fruit juices
mixed with vegetable purees.
Some children have an inclina-
tion toward favorite flavors or
just can benefit from a little
variety, which can sometimes
prove challenging when pro-
duce is out of season. Try
Grapple(R) brand apples,
which combine the fresh,
familiar flavor of Washing-ton
apples with the aroma and taste
of concord grapes. Through a
patented process, premium
Washing-ton State apples are
infused with grape flavor to cre-
ate a product that "Crunches
like an Apple, Tastes like a
Grape(TM)." The health ben-
efits of Grapples are just the
same as other variety of apples,
and there is no artificial ingre-
dients added or genetic alter-
ing. The process of making
them does not add any extra
sugar, calories, carbohydrates or
anything else; in fact the apple
maintains its natural supply of
vitamins, minerals, nutrients,
and fiber. Parents can rest
assured that all ingredients
have been approved by the
USDA and the FDA.
4.Try creative presentations:
Simply presenting the foods in
a unique way can make them
fun to eat. Try making fruit cre-
ations, such as "snowmen" out
of stacked grapes, or orange and
peach skewers. Children may
be more inclined to drinking
fruit smoothies mixed with
yogurt, or giving foods fun
names, such as banana bombs,
which are just chunks of
banana rolled in honey and
granola. All it may take is cre-
ating a fruit face on a plate with
different fruits resembling fea-
tures. Try kiwi eyes, Grapple
slices for a mouth, a blueberry
nose, or whatever you come up
with.
5.Be patient with new foods: It
can take a few attempts and
repeated exposure to get chil-
dren to try new foods, says the
Mayo Clinic. Serve new foods
along with children's favorite
foods, like Grapple slices added
to a peanut butter sandwich.
More information is avail-
able by calling 1-800-232-2636
or visiting www.grapplefruits
.com and Facebook at
http://www.facebook.com/Grap
plebrandapples. Grapple brand
apples are available in many
grocery stores nationwide from
October through May.
Here are more ideas about
incorporating these apples in
tasty snacks.
Crunch Grapple Slices
Core, cut and slice 2
Grapples, crush 1/2 c of your
favorite cereal like Chex or
Rice Krispies, mix 1 tea-
spoons packed brown sugar
and 2 tablespoons peanut
butter together. Spread the
brown sugar and peanut but-
ter onto Grapple slices and
roll in cereal.
Grapple Kabobs
Core, quarter and cube a
Grapple. Slice some cheese
into similarly sized cubes.
Skewer the apples and cheese
alternately on toothpicks,
adding a raisin or other dried
fruit. If packing for school
lunch, dip the apples into a lit-
tle lemonade first to keep them
from turning brown.
Dried Grapples
You can easily dry your own
apples without any preserva-
tives. Cut a Grapple into 1/4inch thick slices. Dip them into
a bowl of lemon water or
lemonade. Spread out on a
metal rack and set into a warm
oven (180 F) for two or three
hours. Turn off the oven and let
them cool.
Baked Grapples
Place a cored apple in a but-
tered ramekin. Add 1 tea-
spoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of
brown sugar and a 1/4 tea-
spoon of cinnamon into the
center hole. Bake at 350
degrees for about 45 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes.

Homeowners often
look to make im-
provements on their
homes to advance aesthetics,
save money or make their
homes more energy efficient.
What they may not know is
that certain home improve-
ments may qualify them for
manufacturer or energy sup-
plier rebates and even federal
tax credits that can help a
person save even more.
Not all products are eli-
gible each year, so it's benefi-
cial to know what tax incen-
tives are out there regarding
home retrofits. Here are
some programs to keep in
mind.
U.S. residents who
made home improvements in
2011 may be eligible for tax
credits when filing a 2011 tax
return. Installation and
replacement of biomass
stoves, HVAC systems, insu-
lation, metal and asphalt
roofs, nonsolar water heatersand windows/doors can earn
a person up to 10 percent of
the cost, up to $500, or a spe-
cific amount from $50 to
$300. Improvements must
have been done to an exist-
ing home and principal resi-
dence by December 31, 2011.Federal tax credits for
2012 include geothermal
heat pumps. These are simi-
lar to ordinary heat pumps,
but use the ground instead of
outside air to provide heat-
ing, air conditioning and, in
most cases, hot water. Use of
small residential wind tur-
bines and solar energy sys-
tems, including solar water
heaters and photovoltaicpanels, are also eligible.
These tax credits offer 30
percent of the cost of the
renovation with no upper
limit.
Visit http://Energy.gov
/savings to determine anyadditional rebate and savings
programs that may be offered
in your state. Homeowners
looking to do improvements
can go online or consult with
a tax professional to deter-
mine which improvements
may be eligible for tax credits
or incentives. With the ener-
gy saved and the credit, it
could add up to considerable
savings on the new product.

W
hether the kids
have all grown up
and moved out or
if the kids are on the way andit's time to expand a living
area, building a new home is
an exciting, yet often agoniz-
ing, experience. The reasons
for building a new home are
many, but regardless of the
reason, the process of choos-
ing a builder should remain
the same.
Andrew Nadalin, presi-
dent of Pace 2000 Inc. and a
fourth generation builder andcraftsmen, offers the following
advice to prospective home-
owners with their eyes set on
building a dream home to call
their own.
Look for a builder with a
solid reputation. A builder's
reputation speaks volumes,
but it doesn't have to speak
for itself. That's because a
builder who has spent years
providing personal service,innovative design and quality
workmanship will no doubt
have a host of happy former
customers ready and willing
to offer their input. If during
the interview process a
builder appears reticent to
share his work or experiences
with previous customers, this
should be a red flag.
Reputable builders will be
proud of their work and morethan willing to show it off.
Find a builder who is flexi-
ble. You will be paying to
build your home, not the
builder's home. A buildershould be flexible and ready
and willing to meet your
needs, no matter how unique
they might be.
Look for a builder who does
more than build. A good
builder should do more than
just build. A builder should
provide a network of qualified
professionals to make the
process go more smoothly.
This network should includereal estate and building con-
sultants, interior designers,
architects and engineers. Such
connections can provide
peace of mind and will also
illustrate that a builder is both
respected in the community
and is intent on ensuring your
home becomes the dream
home you envision it to be.
Don't build on the cheap.
Buyers who plan to build theirown home are in the unique
position to ensure their home
is as safe and high-quality as
possible. This isn't always the
case when buying a resale, so
make the most of your oppor-
tunity and use only top-of-
the-line construction materi-
als and features and choose a
builder with experience in
working with such materials
and features. Building on thecheap could prove disastrous
in the not too distant future,
so don't sacrifice on qualitywhen building a new home.
More information on
selecting the right builder is
available online at www.

On St. Patrick's Day,
have a little fun in
with a traditional
Irish twist. Whether you're
Irish or not, enjoy the festiv-
ities with some entertain-
ment and food.
Because green is the
color of choice on this festive
day, one of the easiest ways
to celebrate in the Irish style
is to incorporate the color in
as many ways as possible --
even in food. Course after
course and meal after meal
you can add a hint of green
to the foods your family
enjoys. With a little bottle of
green food coloring, it's
amazing what you can
achieve.
Breakfast Ideas:
Tint milk green, whether in
a glass or in a bowl of cereal.
(Serve with "Lucky Charms"
perhaps?)
Channel your inner Dr.
Seuss by turning scrambled
eggs into "green eggs and
ham."
Make a green smoothie
with yogurt, juice and a
banana, with a few drops of
coloring added.
Butter toast with green-
tinted butter.
Lunch Ideas:
Make pizza or pasta with a
green pesto sauce.
Serve olive loaf instead of
bologna in a sandwich. It has
circles of green olives
throughout.
Make sure kids' juice boxes
are a green-colored variety.
Create a fruit salad with
mostly green fruits, such as
green grapes, kiwis, honey-dew melon, and green apples.
Baked potatoes topped with
green-tinted sour cream and
chives will be a winner.
Dinner Ideas:
A vegetable medley of
green veggies, like spinach,
broccoli, asparagus, and more
can be served as a side dish or
mixed as a casserole.
While corned beef and cab-
bage are traditional Irish
dishes, tint the cabbage
green for a little more flair.
Green food coloring addedto mashed potatoes can liven
mealtime up.
Make homemade Irish soda
bread or another bread to
serve at dinner and add green
food coloring to the dough.
Beverages:
What would St. Patrick's
Day be without a green glassof beer? For the kids, tint gin-
ger ale or a lemon-lime soda
green.
Create a green cocktail
using Bailey's Irish Cream
liqueur.
Dessert Ideas:
Turn ice cream or milk-
shakes green using mint-fla-
vored ice cream
Add green sugar sprinklesto cookies and cakes.
Bake chocolate chip cook-
ies using green M&M can-
dies, instead of chips.
Fill cream puffs with green-
colored cream.
When you think of all
the foods you can turn green
or are naturally that color,
your St. Patrick's Day can
truly be filled with emerald
magic.

For many years the clas-
sic food pyramid has
been the method by
which many people plan
their healthy eating goals.Recently the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
modified the food pyramid,
transforming it into a differ-
ent symbol altogether -- a
dinner plate.
The general basis of the"MyPlate" model generated
by the USDA is to give indi-
viduals a better understand-
ing of the ratios of food that
should fill their plates. While
the average guidelines for the
total amount of each food
group that should be eaten
varies according to age and
sex, the overall messages of
how much to fill a plate serve
as a good indicator for
healthier eating.Taking a small dinner
plate, half of the plate should
be filled with fruits and veg-
etables, with a greater
emphasis on vegetables.
Slightly less than one-fourth
of the other side of the plate
should consist of lean pro-
tein. The remaining open
portion of the plate should be
made up of grains -- with at
least half of those grainswhole grains. A cup of low-
or nonfat milk should be an
accompaniment to the meal
for dairy consumption.
Most people get their
recommended amount of oils
through many of the foods
that they eat, including fish
and nuts. The USDA advises
anywhere from 3 to 7 tea-
spoons of total oil consump-
tion daily, depending on age
and sex. Otherwise, caloricneed is surpassed and weight
