    I have made the chocolate stout cupcakes. They are delicious!! I was in Ireland looking at linens for a table runner. I looked and looked and found a beautiful runner that was hand embroidered. It was sold in a lovely box. I could hardly wait to use it. I planned a tablesetting with it . Problem was that when I pulled it out of the box it was only embroidered at one end of the runner. Was i disappointed! Of course if I had known that I would not have purchased it. Oh well..lesson learned. Happy St Patrick’s Day to you!☘️🍻

      Aww Mary, everything is so beautiful with all that pretty green and white and the food looks totally scrumptious. I remember making the humus and avocado, it’s wonderful! And the stout mac and cheese, the handpies, the stew, it was all very tasty! I would like to try that awesome looking fudge! Yum! I cherish my beautiful shamrock runner that your blessed me with and always say a prayer of thanks for you Mary. Blessings to you for generous heart of giving and many thanks! Your a sweet Lass! ☘☘☘

    My favorite Irish food has got to be Irish butter – I know kind of weird but if you talking true Irish – got to be butter and perhaps an Irish cheddar.!! Now if we’re talking an Americanized Irish then corned beef and cabbage with potatoes & carrots and an Guinness chocolate cupcake!

    Happy St Pat’s Day and thanks SO much for the recipes!

        My favorite holiday St. Patrick’s Day. Could it be because I’m 100% Irish. Oh those recipes to try. Scones,apple cake Stew. My favorite is a toss up between corn beef&cabbage or shepards pie. So many recipes So little time

  4. Kathy
    February 27, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Such great recipes! My go-to each year is Colecannon, mashed potatoes with cabbage. A bit of extra butter KerryGold is always helpful. It just seems so very Irish. The recipe I use came from my grandmother and I don’t know where she got it.
    Love your Beleek honey jar with the bees!

    I am never deleting this email. There are SO many great ideas here that I want to come back to it every St. Paddy’s. You have inspired me many times over the years. I want to make that centerpiece and the Ina bread. Favorite Irish food? Irish soda bread homemade with Irish butter (the only one we use). I just bought 4 placemats that look just like your runner from the Current catalog (or Colorful Images). I am starting a new board on Pinterest called St. Paddy’s Inspiration and pinned your Soda Bread, Irish cream liqueur, Scones, Floral Centerpiece, Brownie Trifles, Tablescape, Apple cake, Fairy Ring, Beef and Guiness pie, Beef hand pies, Bread pudding. Off to do that now. Thank you so much.

  10. February 27, 2023 at 8:33 am

    Good Morning from crazy California! I love corned beef. My late husband was Irish and we were married on Saint Patrick’s Day! Saint Patrick’s Day is STILL a big celebration for me! Beautiful Irish photos you have!!!

    WOW! Sooo many recipes!! Hard to choose but I think I’ll try the dark bread! Since this St. Patrick’s Day falls in the Lenten season, I don’t eat sweets but the bread looks like a favorite! Although I love your giveaways…I have already won an Irish table runner just like the one you are giving away now and several years ago, I won an Irish cookbook that you offered as a giveaway…therefore, I think I will forego an entry and give someone else a better chance of winning! GOOD LUCK to all! Mary, thank you for a beautiful post! BTW: I saved the Fairy picture regarding the Fairy Rings…we have several Fairy Rings in the warmer weather…they are magical!!

    I’ve been making Irish Soda Bread since 1979 & still have the very used green recipe card I picked up in a little Irish shop on St. Patrick’s Day in downtown Portland, Oregon. I usually make your delicious Irish Cream at Christmastime but after seeing it in this post I think I’m going to make some now too. We just moved to the central part of Oregon (high desert) & it appears that winter is going to be with us for awhile longer meaning nice hot coffee & Irish Cream to warm up with! Thank you for your beautiful, inspiring posts. I am an email subscriber and will pin. I come back to your recipes time and time again. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

  25. February 27, 2023 at 10:50 am

    What a beautiful collection of table settings and Irish recipes. My favorite is Cornbeef and cabbage, carrots and lots of potatoes served with a horseradish, mustard and sourcream sauce I have been making for years. Of course a basket of Irish soda bread and Kerry gold irish .butter is set on the table and quickly devoured. Everything tastes so much better on St Patrick’s Day. Must be the leprechauns giving me a hand with the cooking.
    Erin go Braugh and a Happy St Patrick’s Day to everyone.

    What a lovely giveaway! How nice of you. I have followed you when I had no idea what a blog was.

Now I know what a blog is and I have my very own she shed… all because of you!
    I pinned the tablescapes and the Whiskey Soda Bread… I’ll be making your version this March 17th!

    No way I could pick a favorite – but I am a huge fan of Irish brown bread. I lived on it when my family and I were blessed to be able to visit Ireland many years ago. I am Irish on both sides, and it was the trip of a lifetime!

    I have never owned an Irish cookbook – and that runner is stunning. If I win I will certainly get back to blogging about it!

    My favorite Irish food is beef stew with Guinness. Had in for the first time eating at The Hairy Lemon in Dublin. Will never forget that trip and the food. Back Roads Tour all over Ireland. Since I’ve discovered I’m a whole lot of Irish. Cherry

    I’m so excited for St Patrick’s Day.. we have rented a house in Savannah on the beach and 12 of our family members will be staying there to celebrate the occasion!!! We will spend the day at the parade downtown & then my husband & his brother will attend a black tie dinner hosted by the Hibernian Society of Savannah.. he has waited 50 years to become a member & this year it happened for both of them! We are so very excited to celebrate my husband’s family heritage. We usually have an Irish meal of corned beef and cabbage with Irish soda bread and a toast with a special bottle of Tullamore! Thanks for such a wonderful blog post… I will be keeping each recipe.. 🍀🍀🍀

    Love all the ideas! I make corned beef every year but love my moms apple cake especially. I can’t wait to try yours. My first name is Patricia so I celebrate every year.

  57. February 27, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    My favorite Irish food is Lamb Stew, and of course you have to serve it with Irish Soda Bread. (I have used your recipe for Irish Beef Stew and substituted lamb stew meat).

    Fun post! My favorite Irish food is definitely corned beef and cabbage. I pinned the 17 Recipes For St. Patrick’s Day because why just stop at one? Your pictures were inspiring; I can’t wait to decorate tomorrow.

    Hi Mary!
    Lovely post, as always! This is when I miss blogging most, St. Patrick’s Day. The blog crawl was always so much fun! Remember the dust up over the cupcake name? Crazy!
    I don’t know which ☘️ Food I like best. I made 10 loaves of Soda bread today as I do most every week. I give it all away, I make a tiny cupcake size one for myself so I can taste it.
    Have a great St. Patrick’s Day and thanks for the generous give away.
    I wonder where the traveling Irish cloth ended up?☘️

    I love to dream that I am Irish 🤣 and Ireland is at the top of my places to visit although it will probably just be through pictures. I think Irish potato soup or the Irish meat pies are my favorite foods. I will be making that for hubby and the treats for my sweet Southpaw (a dachshund beagle pooch). My favorite picture was the one with the castle on the cliff and the delicious food pictures surrounding it. Thank you for the opportunity to win some amazing gifts.

    Mary, I’m not Irish, but I sure am feeling the vibe with this post. You certainly know how to get us in the mood to celebrate. One day I would love to travel to Ireland. It’s high on my list! Irish stew is a favorite, but I think Irish coffee might be my favorite. I’m putting away all the valentine things today, and green will soon be the center of attention.
