Green Breakfast for St. Patrick's Day

A little green gel paste makes the pancake batter more exciting
Add St. Patrick's Day sprinkles and green sugar
Put more green colored gel paste in the eggs
And you end up with a beautiful plate of green sprinkle pancakes and green eggs and ham.

I add precooked, cubed ham to my lightly beaten eggs, a little cheese and salt and pepper.

This Irish Brown Bread recipe was very simple and a great, hearty bread
