St. Patrick’s Day Dessert!

Slainte, Erin Go Bragh and Happy St. Patrick’s Day.  Oh goodness – I do love this day. Most people who know me tend think I’m 100% Irish.  I’ve got the fair skin, the red hair and the fiery Irish wit… err… maybe that’s temper… but I digress.  Truth is – I have no idea exactly how [...]

A family favorite recipe for St. Patrick’s Day!

We all know that holidays mean two things – traditions and food. And since I’m 100% Irish, my favorite holiday is St. Patrick’s Day, a day that brings back fond memories of my childhood and the lingering scents of corned beef cooking in the kitchen.
