Foodie Friday: Serve Up A Stylish St. Pat's Dinner ~ Recipes & More

On March 17th, everyone is Irish for a day.  Being part Irish, I do love all of the celebration, and never mind the "wear'n of a little green." I do find, however, average Irish food a little boring. So today, I present St. Pat's worthy recipes and cooks tools that are both creative and delicious. 

Potato, Brussels Sprouts and Goat Cheese Pizza
Truffle oil, goat cheese and Brussels - what's not to like? This would be something different as your St. Patrick's Dinner appetizer.

Mint Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches

Short Rib Pies
These really look too cute to eat. This will be a feast for any pot pie lover......like Mr. Shop This!
Foxes Love Lemons  

 Potato, Celery Root and Sunchoke Cream with Purple Potato Chip
{Gluten Free}
A creamy and light soup that is said to be "soothing." I can believe that, as I have always felt a potato helps an ailing tummy. This recipe calls for coconut milk. Yummy!
Cannelle Vanille 

Cheddar Cheese Broccoli Tots
Here's a recipe that will get the kids to eat their broccoli! Panko breadcrumbs keep them light.

Rosemary Cheddar Irish Soda Bread

Traditional Irish Soda Bread is a bit plain for me.  This recipe, by adding Rosemary and Cheddar cheese is a game changer!
Foodness Gracious   

 Cheesy Cabbage Gratin

I have just never been a cooked cabbage kind of girl, but I have never tried it with cheese. These little pots of gold do look good!

Irish Cream Coffee Cupcakes & Marshmallow Top
These just look insanely good to me. The pretty pistachio sprinkle is perfection!

Sausage Biscuit Skillet With Guinness
I am not sure how authentically Irish this dish is, but at least it calls for Irish beer.

 Staub Pine Mini Cocotte

Serve up individual beef stews or mac and cheese in these super stylish servers.
Sur La Table  

An Irishman's Mac And Cheese
Yes, those are potato chips you see in the Mac and Cheese. Isn't  that a brilliant addition? You will also find kale, bacon and Irish white cheddar. Oh My!
Half Baked Harvest 

Chinoiserie Dinnerware
Add a global view to your St. Pat's dinner with these retro-chic patterns. Use them outdoor beyond the 17th. They are unbreakable and affordable!
 Pier One Imports  

Farmhouse Cheddar And Irish Stout Fondue
There's nothing more Irish than boiled potatoes and Guinness Stout. The idea is a little ho-hum until you dip it all in a warm cheese sauce. Now that's a party!

Sippity Sup   

Mrs. Shamrock Smash

Bursting with minty and lime flavors, this is one festive cocktail.

Amy Atlas Blog 

Rainbow Marshmallows

A homemade marshmallow is a very special treat. I have not tried to make them, but aren't these fun? If this is what you find at the end of the rainbow, let's spend the holiday there!

Bakers Royale  

Golden Raisin Bread

Marc has taken the basic Irish Soda Bread and made it much more interesting. The addition of golden raisins and lemon zest, must give this recipe an added brightness, sweetness and texture. Don't you just want a bite?

Iced Whiskey Coffees with Whiskey Syrup and Whipped Cream

I am not a coffee drinker, but add some liquor and I can be converted. If you love the metallic straws like I do, I found some at Etsy. Click HERE

Tuesday Trend: Fine Lines

Don't worry, I am not talking about the fine lines on our face, though mine need to be addressed soon! Today it is all about the lines that create one of Spring's best trends. These lines zig and zag, and are angled, thin, thick, horizontal, and vertical. Now stripes are nothing new, but these lines are fresh and fun. Anything with a line is my favorite print. This year you can wear the trend from head to toe - just not all at the same time!

HERE: 12 Ways To Try The Trend
