In case you’re living under a rock, you may not know that St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is! And that means it’s time to break out your cabbage, corned beef, potatoes, Guinness and Irish Whiskey. I got all mine on Monday and I’m ready! Yes, like most… Continue reading Irish Soda Bread

Boston Cream Pie
In case you didn’t hear, today is St. Patrick’s Day and you’re probably seeing a ton of Instagram and blog posts for corned beef and cabbage and green cocktails. (Yes, I did one too.) Well, I couldn’t come up with another corned beef recipe. I mean, how many different ways can you prepare corned beef?… Continue reading Boston Cream Pie
Tipperary Cocktail
So, St. Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday, and like most events over the past year, I’m sure this year’s festivities “will look a little (or a lot) different”. Here in California bars aren’t open yet for indoor dining. If you live anywhere else in the country, however, you may be able to celebrate at your… Continue reading Tipperary Cocktail
Corned Beef Hash Frittata
I love corned beef. I eat it every chance I get. I don’t care if it’s thinly sliced cold cuts, a brisket served with cabbage or diced with potatoes. As long as I get to eat it, I’m happy. My favorite version is brisket form, though. See, with a corned beef brisket you’re almost always… Continue reading Corned Beef Hash Frittata
Corned Beef Roll-ups
Corned Beef and Cabbage is a common choice for St. Patrick’s Day. While it’s a delicious choice, it also takes quite a bit of work and a lot of time to make. I love corned beef. As a matter of fact I have one chilling in the fridge right now. But sometimes you don’t have… Continue reading Corned Beef Roll-ups
Creme de Menthe Frappe
St. Patrick’s Day is next week and I wanted to make sure you had plenty of cocktail options for the big day. Now if you want to stick with beer, that’s totally fine. But there are quite a few a green cocktails that are nice alternatives to Guinness. Last week I made a Last Word… Continue reading Creme de Menthe Frappe
The Last Word
St. Patrick’s Day may be a couple weeks away, but there’s no reason we can’t start thinking about green cocktails now. I know green beer is the alcohol of choice during this holiday, but seeing as how I’m not a huge beer fan normally, there’s no way I’m drinking it when it’s green. Believe it… Continue reading The Last Word
Le Rat Blanc
St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday, so of course I wanted to make a green cocktail. But when it comes to green alcohol there are only a few possibilities: midori, green creme de menthe, and that evil, mind-bending classic, Absinthe. While Absinthe would have been impossible to come by ten years ago, it’s made a huge… Continue reading Le Rat Blanc
Irish Coffee
I know, I know, this is the post you’ve been waiting for all week. After all there’s really only one thing that St. Patrick’s Day’s all about: finding a pub with an Irish name and drinking enough green beer to make you sick and then continue drinking until the wee hours of the morning. But… Continue reading Irish Coffee
Irish Chocolate Whiskey Cake
As promised, here’s my second St. Patrick’s Day post. But since I did my green and savory post on Monday, today’s post is dedicated to the sweet side of things. I’m a big fan of stout brownies which are another great idea for the holiday. But since I’ve already done that post, I thought I’d… Continue reading Irish Chocolate Whiskey Cake
Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Since St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s posts to all things that are green and/or Irish. Today’s post is both. Well, it’s not exactly Irish per se, but it’s made with potatoes which a lot of people associate with Ireland thanks to the great Irish Potato Famine of the mid… Continue reading Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
