St. Patrick’s Day Recipes
With a last name like mine, you could probably guess that we have Irish roots. And we love everything about St. Patrick’s Day, from the green shamrocks scattered throughout the holiday décor, to the playful leprechaun shenanigans, to fun shirts left for the kids! You see, those pesky little leprechauns come to our house and cause a lot of mischief while we sleep. My kids love waking up to find the little pranks, such as green-tinted milk or leprechaun footprints leading them to a special treat.
Luckily, those naughty leprechauns have never played any tricks on my morning coffee because I tend to put on my emerald green apron early to start mixing up the Irish soda bread to go with our brunch.
After having fun with that little tradition, we head on over to my in-laws’ house for a big family celebration with games and lots of traditional Irish food, like bangers, colcannon, and corned beef and cabbage. We also serve up some fun, not-so-traditional dishes that were inspired by the holiday, like a rainbow cake or a mint brownie trifle or a chocolate mint dessert. Of course there is always plenty of dark beer and sparkling cocktails available too.
