Sometimes hearty, sometimes boozy, whipping up St. Patrick’s Day recipes is the perfect excuse to gather friends for a potluck, brunch, and yes, even if you’re in the mood for easy green food ideas.
There are many reasons traditional St. Patrick’s Day recipes are so beloved. If you’re wondering what to serve or how the Irish actually celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, this list of recipes has you clovered. (See what I did there?)
There’s always my classic slow cooker corned beef and cabbage for the main meal or 20 different stout recipes for dessert, but don’t leave out these fun Irish brunch ideas below like potato pancakes to whiskey ice cream for dessert, and find the lucky dish to make your day complete.
Traditional Irish Fare
The leprechauns can have their gold, we’d rather have these recipes (which are so delectable they have us doing a little jig).

Don’t Pinch Me! Green Recipes
We can’t exactly say that these recipes will save you from getting pinched, but they should. These festive emerald-hued dishes are perfect for Saint Paddy’s Day, or any day really, and are a good way to get some greens (sans icky food coloring).

I know it’s super right on time for St. Patrick’s day yet my FCCLA Leadership instructor needs us to hand over our arrangements for the month to month meeting we were doled out. Mine equitable so happens to be March. So I figure the most effortless thing to do is a St. Patrick’s Day topic
