Though we know a lot of homes will be enjoying corned beef for their St Patrick's Day dinner this weekend, there are plenty of people (like me!) who would rather find some corned beef alternatives to serve on the 17th. If you're like me,…
I may not be a fan of corned beef , but I know a lot of families will serve it (and enjoy it!) on Friday for St. Patrick's Day dinner. If you too are looking forward to a corned beef dinner on the 17th, let me help you enjoy your leftove…
Now that St. Patrick's Day is coming up and it's Lucky Charms treat season, I'll confess: I used to believe that you either love Lucky Charms marshmallows or you don't. As a kid, my sister eagerly slurped up every last clover and horsesh…
With March right around the corner and a toddler just getting the hang of his colors, I've been searching for cute rainbow desserts for kids, especially for St. Patrick's Day. And as luck o' the Irish would have it, the food bloggers of …
St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, as in, not much time left to plan elaborate crafts or activities. And, really, even if there was more time, I'm not down with elaborate crafts or activities. However, I can get behind these e…
Let's be honest, shall we? St. Patrick's Day is a straight up boozy holiday. And just the thought of packed bars with drunken revelry makes me want to hide. (Or maybe it's just that the beer is green, because blech!) And by hide, I mean …
Ah, St. Patrick's Day: green food , Lucky Charms everything , and over-the-top rainbow-colored treats that are typically an artificially colored, sugary food extravaganza. But this St. Patrick’s Day, I’m celebrating with a rainbow-themed…
Lucky Charms has always been my kids' favorite "vacation cereal" -- as in, when we're on vacation, grabbing the free breakfast at the hotel, those tiny boxes of Lucky Charms are staples at the table next to my hard boiled eggs and fourth…
I'm all about treating the kids to a silly, unexpectedly festive lunch full of St. Patrick's Day spirit, but to be totally honest, I'm just really ready for Spring Break to get here. Mama doesn't have it in her to go full-out bento this …
We can thank McDonald’s for the continued popularity of the St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shake. They’ve rolled out four new flavors this year, ranging from chocolate to mocha, and Burger King hopped on the shake train with their new, limit…
With both St. Patrick's Day and a major nor'eastern (aka, a snow day for the kids) happening this week, it's most definitely time to get our drink on -- and our cake on too. Luckily, we were able to consult with a beer pouring expert -- …
Rainbow recipes for St. Patrick's Day are a lot more appealing than dyeing everything green in our opinion. And of course, we could celebrate by eating corned beef and shepherd's pie, but why would we when we could spend the weekend eati…
Of all the holidays, I always seem to need the most help finding cool St. Patrick's Day recipes, because no thank you to recipe after recipe of artificially dyed green food. (And can we all agree that green doesn't work for every dish?) …
Every St. Patrick's Day, I make a big feast to celebrate the big day in honor of my husband's Irish family—but, truth be told, I'd make one even if I didn't' have Irish relatives. You know why? Corned beef and cabbage. It's just too grea…
Ah, the Shamrock Shake. That once-a-year emerald colored, minty concoction that makes St. Patrick's Day feel like, well, St. Patrick's Day. If you can't do without one, but would rather skip loads of artificial green coloring or just pre…
St. Patrick's Day isn't my thing. (How's that for the open of a St. Patrick's Day post?) But now that I have kids—who love any excuse to celebrate anything—I hate to be a curmudgeon about it. So, after thinking about it long and hard (ok…
