St Patrick's Day menu help please
Once a month I bring lunch to a local children's shelter, and my turn falls on St Patrick's Day this month. I usually feed about 15 - 20 kids and staff each time. I would love to do something fun for these kids, as most of them have just come from cases of extreme abuse and neglect. Keep in mind that it has to be kid friendly, or they won't eat it. A friend and I usually split the cost of food and prep work, and we usually spend about $80 or less in total.
Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you!

Shepherd's pie is pretty kid friendly. I mean shoot, it's topped with mashed potatoes!
Here's the recipe I love, you could easily sub beef broth for the beer/wine
What an awesome thing you are doing. I'm sure it means so much to the kids.
