I made Coconut Macaroons today and I thought you could easily colour those green for St Patrick's Day.

I recently made a Guinness Cakewhich was beautiful - chocolate with a cup of Guinness in the recipe and frosted with cream cheese icing so it actually looks like a glass of the beer.It is a recipe by Nigella Lawson - easily Googled!

Irish Stew
Colcannon (aka bubble and squeak)
Cupcakes with green icing
Lettuce soup (very green)

ETA - don't add green food colouring to your cupcake mix though - it is very hard to make green cake look appetising!

I'm doing the sweets part for a get-together, will make choc mint brownies, a rainbow cake in the shape of a big leprechaun hat, and green vodka jellies. Yay it's only a week away!

Very cool!

We usually do brunchto celebrate my maternal Irish heritage. We don't colour food green or anything like that, but we do include some traditional Irish recipes and add whatever else makes a livelyand informal celebration. My dear Irish mumfrequently made Irish potato bread, so that's top of the menu, and of course, Guinness to imbibe. This year beef and black pudding pie with Guinness is on the menu.

Have a lovely celebration everyone:-)

Brown soda bread with smoked salmon.Something we grew up on in Ireland.Also bacon and cabbage.
Was actually just talking to my DH about Paddy's day.Amazed its so popular here.Everyone's been asking what I'm doing on saturday.To be honest it's never been a big deal for me or most Irish people I know.
