Our Best Ideas for St. Patrick’s Day

If you’re a fan of hearty fare like potatoes and stew, then you probably look forward to March 17th. We look forward to it as much as you do. Sure, it’s fun to kick off the American holiday version with green appetizers. Treat yourself to a festive St. Patrick’s Day dessert and cocktail. However, the best part of this day is digging into a plate piled high with dishes that celebrate Irish cuisine. For some of us, that means cooking up inspired classics like corned beef and cabbage or shepherd’s pie. For others, it’s all about sticking to tradition and making authentic colcannon or boxty. You can choose any method to pay tribute to the food and cooking of the Emerald Isle. We’re sure these recipes will come in handy. We’ve rounded up everything from Guinness-infused bites. There are cute, shamrock-shaped scones. Other options include Irish coddle and soda bread. We’re sure you’re going to love each and every recipe. A must-make no matter how you celebrate? This 5-star corned beef and cabbage. It requires a bit of time and effort but the leftover corned beef makes for excellent hash the next day.
