Let’s celebrate St. Patty’s Day with 17 Irish-inspired recipes from corned beef, beef pot pies, shepherd’s pie, potato farls to some great cocktails like Irish Mule or a grasshopper!
I’ve compiled some St. Patrick’s Day Great Recipes that I hope you’ll enjoy, maybe even while wearing something green! As the tradition goes, wearing green on Saint Patrick’s Day is supposed to make you invisible to leprechauns. They will pinch you as soon as you come upon their radar if you don’t wear green.
The March 17 celebration started in 1631 when the Church established a Feast Day honoring St. Patrick. He had been Patron Saint of Ireland who had died around the fifth century. That’s a whopping 12 centuries before the modern version of the holiday was first observed.
But enough about that now, we’re here for the food, so here’s my collection! Enjoy!
