St. Patricks Day Recipes

With St. Patrick's Day on Wednesday I thought I would present a few recipes that we make for this holiday! Having Irish heritage, we love St. Patrick's Day and always celebrate with a family dinner.

First off scones are a must. Here is my favorite recipe:


Scones with Cherry and Lemon
(Click title for the recipe)


 


We always have this traditional Irish dish made with potatoes, cabbage and onions.

It is soo good!
Colcannon

For the main dish we like to serve meat pies. My Grandma always makes miniature chicken pot pies. They are delicious! Since my Grandma doesn't live here in Tennessee, I think I will just purchase some frozen ones at the store this year:) You could make homemade ones though!



For a delicious green side dish try this spring time favorite...


For dessert I like to make something simple like frosted sugar cookies with green sprinkles or take a shamrock shaped cookie cutter to a pan of brownies.

Simple, but fun!

Hope you all have a wonderful St. Patty's Day!!

  1. Those sound so good. Yum. I think I want to try some of those just because. I hadn't thought about scones for St. Patrick's Day. I really might do that :)

  9. I love that the Sterzers make a big deal out of St. Patricks Day, well out of every holiday really:) I think my first time really celebrating beyond the whole "wear green or you'll get pinched" thing was after I was married! We should all go to Ireland someday!
