Cooking Irish: Recipes & More

{ Le Creuset }

St. Pat's Day is right around the corner. Consider this post your lucky charm. Yes, I am Irish, but I am not the biggest fan of the cuisine. So I was picky about this recipe roundup. Can you say Reuben Stuffed Potato Skins? 

Pistachio Bundt Cake

Shall we start with dessert first? A beautiful cake with Irish vibes!

Emerald Elixir

Isn't this the cutest? It is filled with fresh flavors from mint leaves, lemon juice, Absolute Citron, fresh basil, and St. Germain. Certainly not your average green beer offering.

The Cookie Rookie

Potato Chip Crusted Fish & Chips

One of my favorite things. But I have not had it prepared with potato chips! The fries are thick cut soaked in beer, and oven fried, making them just a wee bit healthier. The entire recipe includes all of the fixings. YUM!

Of course, everyone is a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. I am actually about 50% Irish, but not a fan of Irish food. It's either too salty, fatty, or plain for my taste. Or maybe I just haven't had it from the right source. What does tempt my tastebuds is eating anything green. It really is the healthiest color under the rainbow.  Today's recipe roundup showcases the Irish hue in all of its verdant varieties. Sláinte!

St. Patrick's Day is one week away. On the 17th of March, we all can be Irish, or at least cook like we are. Irish recipes aren't especially exciting or pretty, but they sure are comforting. One thing is for sure, if you are going to host a St. Pat's party, you'll need plenty of Guinness, Baileys and Jameson. This boozy edit promises to get you in the mood for shamrock shakes and all things Irish!
