I had a St. Partick's Day cocktail party last year and used everything green. I had to use green food coloring, but it came out great and we had lots of fun.

They now have spinach tortillas that are green, but they also have sun dried tomato that are pink. I have also seen sun dried tomato pasta. A pink pasta salad would be pretty. There is also sun dried tomato pita bread.

Hummus and shrimp dip both dye well, as does onion dip, hot crab dip and artichoke dip. If you want to have a veggie tray, you could dye blue cheese dressing or ranch as a dip. Eggs dye well also, so deviled eggs or egg salad would be nice.

If you make your own bread, adding food color to the dough should work. Even bisquick with food coloring should produce pink biscuits. Ham on pink biscuits would be cute.

Almost any plain cake or cookie dough will tint well. A red velvet cake would go nicely with the theme...just back off a little on the color in the batter.

There are also pink grapefruit, pink lemonade and strawberry ice cream. You probably need to sit down and come up with a menu first and then decide how you can turn it all pink.

I think it's a good idea. Good luck to you. Of course, as the mother of the honoree, you should wear an all pink outfit. lol

most raw meat is pink.

marshmallows.marzipan,pink wafers, turkish delight, jelly babies, jelly beans, pink smarities, jelly, ham.

Prawn cocktail and lobster tails

Ham is pink...you could do ham on crackers? Some smoked turkey also has a pink tinge.

You might have to resort to food coloring on this one...or do pink and white or something.

Good luck!

pink floyd yes pink food...errm not sure sorry !

You could make some food and put pink dye in the pastry. My mum and I made pink flapjacks they had the same taste just different colours. Buy some recipe books and make the food with pink dye.

Those pink wafer biscuits, Samon, pink lemonade, raspberries, biscuits with pink icing, cheesy biscuits/crackers with a pink topping such as jam, jelly

Add pink/red dye to recipes. I made pink cakes which tasted exactly the same are normal cakes

I did this for my daughters birthday and used red food colouring in everything. I know its not too good to use loads of colourings but its only for one day. You can colour eggs and cheese to put egg mayo or cheese on top of cheese biscuits or use red lettuce to put around things that you cant colour or put prawns on stuff.
You can also marble eggs, If you boil them and then crack the shell loads, put it in a glass with red food colouring and water, leave it over night in the fridge then next day remove the shell and you will have a pink and white marbled egg.

MhMm.. That sounds kyo0ot btw!! LoL Anyways, ham, fish (raw), colored marshmellows, steak (rare), strawberry ice cream, shrimp, etc.. Or maybe just add some food coloring to foods!! For drinks, there is fruit punch, guava juice, watermelon juice, etc.. [:

A lot of meat is pink so you can use that meat for food. then there are pink marshmallows,turkish delight, jelly beans, gelatin,a lot of doughnuts are with pink icing too.

Depends on if you are having a meal or just snack food.

* Alfredo Pizza (pizza with and alfredo sauce *with a few drops of red food coloring to turn it pink* and chicken)
*Strawberries, watermelon ect
*Dye mashed potatoes pink
*Turkey with gravy and dye the gravy pink
*dye some large lasagna noodles pink and wrap non-pink foods like asparagus or meats and cheese in the pink noodles.

Ham, prawns, salmon (tinned), spam, and processed meats.

have a cake made in baskin robbins of a pink flavor!!!

Well for appitizers - salmon cream cheese is pink and so are shrimp, put those on crackers. For dips...cream cheese or mayo or whatever will turn pinkish with a bit of paprika which isn't too stong so won't totally change the flavour of your food.

For a main course you could do a pasta with a tomatoe cream sauce. Yummy.

Good luck.

Get a loaf of white bread. Cut into hearts with a cookie cutter. Spread with strawberry cream cheese and top with cherry halves. Very cute and easy. They taste great!

add colourings to everything u cook!!.. =]

Make coleslaw using red cabbage, and this will have a lovely pinky purple colour.

Cocktail sausages cooked gently will be kind of pink.

Bacon and cheese rolls would be ok - they're on sale now, so stick some in your freezer ready.

Skips have pink lines on them, so you might get away with those.

There are various dips that are pink, if you can get way with something to dip with.

If you want something a bit more substantial, try something with a tomato sauce (bolognaise, chilli or soup) and add a little cream to turn it pink. Do a trial run with this to make sure it doesn't affect the flavour too much.

For drinks you can have rose wine, and cherryade.

Failing all of this, chuck some red food colouring into things you can make yourself.

She's going to be 18 and wants all her food pink,oh dear.
Beetroot juice dyes things,you do a coleslaw with beetroot and red cabbage.
