March 17th offers the perfect excuse to enjoy these festive, flavorful (and green!) recipes inspired by St. Patrick’s Day.
My all-time favorite food for Saint Patrick’s Day? A slice of homemade soda bread,. (I’m partial to the classic version, but won’t say no to a loaf dressed up with herbs and cheddar cheese, either.) I also love sweet recipes like Guinness and dark chocolate truffles, and vibrant green shamrock Rice Krispie treats.
This collection of recipes has everything you need to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, from classic Irish-inspired dishes to whimsical green treats. Try my peppermint marshmallows, Lucky Charms green chocolate bark, mint M&M cookies, pistachio biscotti, and more!
