Perhaps the easiest and tastiest St. Patrick’s Day treat, Irish Potatoes are a no-cook candy that features cinnamon, coconut, and cream cheese. They’re great for making with kids, giving as gifts, or devouring yourself (because let’s be honest, you can’t eat just one). WHAT ARE IRISH POTATOES? Let’s get this out of the way: Contrary…
Slow Cooker Corned Beef with Sweet Mustard Glaze
The easiest, tastiest corned beef dinner is made right in your crock pot. This Slow Cooker Corned Beef recipe will give you tender, juicy meat every time, but don’t stop there! Brush with a simple (but boldly flavorful) sweet mustard glaze, then broil for just a few minutes to amp up the flavor before serving….
No-Bake Mint Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake
This No-Bake Mint Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake is just as delicious as it is hypnotically stunning. Be warned: It’s rich, chocolaty, spiked with plenty of mint, silky smooth, and a total ruiner of self-control. This one goes out to all my fellow mint chocolate chip ice cream lovers, thin mint fanatics, and shamrock shake drinkers. It’s the ultimate…
Melon Whiskey Ginger
Before you file this cocktail away under “St. Patrick’s Day recipes” to be forgotten and neglected for the rest of the year, hear me out. Sure, it’s green; and sure, Irish whiskey is a staple of St. Paddy’s day; and sure, you want to drink it right now in honor of your possibly-existent, possibly-distant Irish heritage…
Irish Baked Potato Soup with Corned Beef and Crispy Leeks
My love story with potato soup is on a better-than-Twilight, stronger than Kim and Kanye, transgressing all pop culture kind of level. It’s the real deal. And if you’re with me (whether or not you’re Irish, and while we’re at it, whether or not you have any idea what I’m talking about at all right…
Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting
There’s nothing wrong with just slapping some green frosting on your cupcakes for St. Paddy’s day, but if you want a dessert that really will make the Irishmen (and ladies) swoon, this Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting is what you should be baking this year. And next year. And every chance you get for…
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
There is not enough coffee in the world to save me today. I woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday to get my cooking done (look out for the Carrot Cake Cheesecake recipe coming up– it should be illegal, it’s so sinfully good) and then took a long, hurried drive/train ride to Newark for…
Guinness Beef Stew with Cheddar Herb Dumplings
Rich and hearty Guinness Beef Stew is a classic that you’ll find at pubs and family dinner tables all across Ireland. This version features ultra-tender meat, deep flavors, and Cheddar Herb Dumplings that will make you swoon. It’s the ultimate comfort food. It’s been cruelly cold and frosty for the past couple of days up…
Boozy Shamrock Shake
These Irish eyes are smiling. Why? Because I now know how to make a Shamrock Shake at home. Cocktail-style.
St. Patrick’s Day Punch
Over the years, I have formed several St. Patrick’s Day traditions. Some involve food, others involve places to go, and absolutely none of them involve green beer (I’ll have a Guinness instead, please!) However, that’s not to say I don’t sip a little green libation when the 17th of March nears. I love bringing this…
