Looking for Irish recipes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? I have 50 Irish Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day to transport your taste-buds to Ireland!
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. That’s why I have 50 Irish Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day both sweet and savory! Over the years this recipe round-up has become a Pinterest favorite. I have broken up the recipes by breakfast, appetizers, drinks, side dishes, main dishes and desserts. You are sure to find something you can indulge on come St. Patrick’s day (or any other day of the year that you are craving Irish food)!
I’m not Irish, but I love the food. Whenever its cold out I crave a piping hot shepherds pie. Ironically, I feel like we eat the most Irish food when we go up north. Somehow we always manage to find ourselves at an Irish pub. That is what has inspired a lot of my Irish recipes here on Katie’s Cucina.
