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!

Cosette's Kitchen

On sale and much less than Williams Sonoma

Wayfair 

Reuben Stuffed Potato Skins

In my view, this is the most appetizing recipe of the roundup. And it is perfect for the gluten free folks. No bread!

Short Rib Shepards Pie

I just made my first ever short ribs this week. They were fab! I should have added the mashed potatoes. Cook and serve the dish in these handled bowls from WS. Recipe also from....

Williams Sonoma

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.

Le Creuset Signature Chef Dutch Oven

Cook the above soup in this enameled cast iron Dutch Oven. It's majorly marked down. This shade is "Irish" artichoke, with many more colors available.

Irish Pub Spinach & Artichoke Melt

Whoa! I would break down and eat some bread if presented with this ooey gooey sandwich. It's made in part with Sourdough bread and Irish cheddar cheese. What a perfect bite!

Half Baked Harvest

Corned Beef Hash

Looks a bit different that the stuff out of a can! Those potatoes are said to be roasty and toasty. It's made in a cast iron pan.

Wayfair is where I got mine, and I love it. They have many styles on sale right now,

Irish Bread Pudding

This Irish dessert is made with French bread. Go figure! But the best part of the recipe is the Whiskey Caramel Sauce.

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!

Half Baked Harvest

Newsprint Wax Paper Sheets

These 150 sheets will come in handy when serving anything fried. They are so fun and affordable!

Baily's Chocolate Cream Pie

You know, Irish desserts don't have to be green to be good. This pie has my name all over it.

Le Creuset 9 Inch Pie Plate

One of the very best pie plates out there, and I want one. It comes in many colors. This is called Artichaut.
