Looking ahead to the big Irish day… I can’t officially call it a tradition in my house as I’m of Swedish/Portuguese ancestry and not Irish. But my husband is just about as Irish- Catholic as they come (and he enjoys his beer) so that gives us reason to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
One of the traditional side dishes, Colcannon, is basically mashed potatoes with pancetta, green onions, and shredded cooked cabbage mixed in. We love this stuff, and it’s a great recipe.
This is absolutely the best Irish Soda Bread recipe I’ve tried: Irish Soda Bread with Raisins and Caraway. Baked in a cast-iron skillet, it’s as moist as can be. It’s great sliced up for breakfast too!
This recipe for Grilled Reuben Sandwiches is a delicious way to use up that leftover corned beef (if you have any!)
I LOOOOOOOOVE this recipe for Irish Bread Pudding with Caramel Whiskey Sauce. Totally amazing. Everyone at our dinner party raved about this one.
This Irish Cream Bundt Cake is pretty darn good too!
Feeling inspired to plan a St. Patrick’s Day dinner?

Kinda sad that as of 2/27/13, the bundt cake recipe is gone 🙁 looks so good too!
It’s not gone! The link just wasn’t working… it works now. https://www.recipegirl.com/2007/08/19/irish-cream-bundt-cake/
I’m all decorated for St. Patty’s, and also baking an angel food bundt cake right now – That Irish Cream bundt cake looks good!
I have never cared for soda bread but must admit this one is quite handsome looking. But the bread pudding….wow! That bundt cake looks great too!
now you got me craving corned beef – great photos! yummmm
