Happy Friday! :)
St. Patrick's Day is a big celebration at my high school, and that is why it's always been something to look forward to for me. But because it's been three years since I graduated (Where did the time go???), I haven't had a proper St. Patty's Day celebration in years... soooo, we are making corned beef for dinner tomorrow!
Wouldn't it be fun to have your own little St. Patrick's Day celebration?!
Here are recipes from www.foodnetwork.com to help you get started:
1. Corned Beef and Cabbage
Total Time: 6 hours and 30 minutes
Level: Easy
Corned beef and cabbage is an American St. Patrick's Day favorite.
2. Irish Stew
Total Time: 3 hours
Level: Intermediate
This comforting stew features tender lamb, hearty carrots, and potatoes -- all topped off with herb butter.
3. Vegetable Shepherd's Pie
Total Time: 1 hour and 6 minutes
Level: Easy
Skip the meat and stuff your shepherd's pie with turnips, carrots, and celery instead.
4. Guinness Float
Total Time: 10 minutes
Level: Easy
Make Baileys Irish Cream and Irish whiskey ice cream to top off this Guinness Float.
5. Chocolate Stout Cupcakes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Level: Easy
The flavor of Guinness melds perfectly with chocolate to make rich, tender cupcakes.
As an added presentation bonus, cream cheese frosting looks like Guinness' iconic foam.
Are you doing anything special to celebrate St. Patrick's Day tomorrow?
Which of these five recipes would you like to try the most?
