It’s not easy being green, but somebody has to do it. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up on Monday, March 17. Celebrate by attending one of these Lakeland events, or by partaking in one of these gloriously green treats, available now.

Bites

If you’re looking for an excuse to have cake for breakfast, consider this your sign. Head to Vegetation Cafe and Kitchen to grab a slice of its fruity matcha cake, a vegan vanilla cake filled with four-berry preserve and matcha-flavored frosting. For a more savory bite, don’t skip out on the spinach puffs.

Keep the green vibes going through dinner time with a stop into Palace Pizza for its pasta al pesto — spaghetti or ziti noodles sautéed with pesto cream sauce, garlic, and Parmigiano cheese.
