St. Patrick's Day dinner menu
Irish cookbook author Donal Skehan suggests a menu of traditional Irish foods for St. Patrick's Day.
I wondered what the Irish actually cook on St. Patrick’s Day, so I contacted Donal Skehan, author of Irish cookbook Good Mood Food, food photographer extraordinaire, pop star and the cook behind the The Good Mood Food Blog. He told me that in Ireland there isn’t a specific St. Patrick’s Day dish. So there you have it — a real Irish meal to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with. Get cooking.

I LOVE this because it's what I've been telling my friends all along but they don't seem to believe me--corned beef and cabbage was made in America, not Ireland. (But almost certainly by the Irish-Americans.) This was a delight to read. Thank you for the food ideas. - Melanie at shareholidays. com
Colcannon is my ultimate comfort food! (Kailkenny if you are a Scot). I make mine with kale instead of cabbage and include garlic. Bacon/ham can be omitted if desired. It is a great spring pick-me-up, but delicious anytime.
A great dessert idea is CAKE BALLS.. bite sized cake, mixed with frosting and dipped in chocolate.. can decorate for the holiday! there is a great recipe with tips on to make the cake balls at: http://www.celebrationideasonline.com . they are so festive and delicious too! Our kids love them.
