Toned Down St. Patrick's day party

Last year one of my sons, who works in a restaurant asked why I never made corned beef and cabbage. I had two answers: the house smelled so bad and you boys didn't like it! But years before one of my clients wanted to have a St. Patrick's Day Party and I wanted something more creative. So, I made a menu and she was so happy with it, I eventually catered two more St. Pat parties for her.
I made a potato centerpiece and glued on real eye cutouts of both she and her husband and some of the guests. Another year, I made green tinsel lamp shades for her sconces.

Mini open faced Reuben Pizzas
Sausage and Mashed potatoes Muffies
Corned Beef Sandwiches
Chicken Sandwiches with Chive Butter
Sweet Potato Stuffed Wontons
Irish Potato Salad
Tex-Caesar Salad
Lemon Bars
Puff Pastry fruit tarts
Brownies and truffles
