Ahh, St. Patrick’s Day. The day to revel in all things Irish and green: corned beef and cabbage, corned beef hash, Irish soda bread, green beer, Irish Car Bomb shots, Irish stew, and anything and everything that can be colored green with food coloring… The list is long and there are loads of options out there if you want to whip up some traditional Irish fare.

Hey, I love ur Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies a lot. Such a perfected recipe it looks to be! Brilliant presentation too!!!
I’m making my Guinness Corned Beef & Cabbage, but one of these yummy desserts might be a nice ending to our meal!
I like the shamrock sugar cookies. They look awesome!
Hmmmm – these all sound delicious. You have just inspired me to make irish soda bread this weekend. Which I have never had but have heard is quite tasty.
I’ve never tried Irish Soda Bread but if you say it’s good, then it must be!!
A lot of people are waiting for St. Patrick’s Day. The recipes in here are definitely worth trying.
I am making Beef and Guinness stew – a recipe I have from my Gourmet Slow Cooker Cookbook! I cant wait! Erin Go Bragh!
I love shortbread cookies because they aren’t too sweet and crunchy. Your recipe looks great! What’s a good meltable dark chocolate you like?
Hi Erica, I love Ghiradelli chocolate and use it for pretty much everything!
I love Irish Soda Bread, my mom has made is since I was a wee one! She always stuck a little Irish flag on top…it’s yummy!
The Shamrock Cookies are so cute!
Can you give me a good sugar cookie frosting recipe? Mine never turns out smooth and lovely like on your shamrock cookies. It either runs off the side and never fully dries, or is too stiff and doesn’t flow right. Help!
Great looking St. Patty’s Day recipes!! I’m hoping to have an all green breakfast tomorrow:)
Such a great assortment! I’m a total sucker for shortbread, so I think I’m going to have to try out your chocolate dipped shortbread recipe this weekend. My 3-year-old just saw the picture of the shamrock cookies and said, “Ooooh, I need dat!”
Aren’t you sweet?!? Thank you so much for the linky love!
I’ve missed chatting with you!
