Color your breakfast casserole green with spinach juice for a festive St. Paddy’s Day breakfast. Bake it in heart shapes and arrange the cooked green hearts into shamrocks, the symbol of Ireland.

One of my favorite candies is Andes Chocolate Mints. With this recipe, you can leave the mint frosting white but I like to color it green so that it looks like Andes mints. (And the touch of green gets you out of being pinched on St. Paddy’s Day!)

With St. Patrick’s Day still on my mind, I decided to make Irish Soda Bread. Irish Soda Bread is considered a quick bread because there is no yeast and therefore it doesn’t need time to rise. Simply mix the ingredients together and bake it in a greased pan. The result is a large mounded loaf of bread with a golden, crusty exterior and a dense, scone-like interior.

The day after we had corned beef hash for dinner we made corned beef sandwiches for lunch with the leftover meat. I think we’ll be having these again sometime in the near future because we definitely can’t wait until next March!

When I was little, my family would always celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a feast of corned beef, boiled potatoes and boiled cabbage. For me, the meal was never that exciting. It was our traditional leftover meal on March 18, however, that was always my favorite: corned beef hash.

St. Patrick’s Day is approaching so I started thinking about corned beef. The funny thing is, corned beef isn’t even a traditional Irish meal. According to some sources, it has become a traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal in America because of the influence of the Irish-American population and the Irish immigrants back in the 1800’s.
