St. Patrick's Day Treats and Eats

Although I haven't personally made anything St. Patrick's Day themed yet this year, I thought I'd share a few recipes that would be oh-so-delicious for the awesome Irish holiday that's just a few days away now!

Most of these are desserts (can you blame me?), but a few of the following ideas are for non-desserts too. These are all from my favorite blogs (including my own - shameless self-promotion!) as well as from good ol' Pinterest.

From the Barbershop:

Creme de Menthe Bars

Irish Soda Bread and Irish Soda Bread Scones

Chocolate STOUT Cupcakes with Kahlua Frosting

You could easily replace the Kahlua with Bailey's so that they're more Irish!

From elsewhere:

Colcannon

I had never heard of colcannon until this week (what kind of Irish girl does that make me?! uh oh!), but now I can't wait to make it. It's essentially mashed potatoes with kale. Yes, please!

And last but not least, it wouldn't be St. Patty's Day without green beer, now would it?! When we were little, we kids always used to drink green milk with our St. Patty's dinner. But now that I'm an adult (and have been for a while, haha), I get to drink green beer! It's funny because I've never actually made my own beer green before. But you know what? I think I will this year. :)

Enjoy the holiday, friends! ;)
