St. Patricks Day

Hope y'all had a Happy St. Patty's Day!



Of course corned beef and cabbage was on the menu, but not done traditionally as unfortunately that way isn't a favorite for the rest of the household.... I did the corned beef in the crock pot covered in water with bay leaves, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning on low for 6 hours. It couldn't have turned out more perfect!


The cabbage I just made into coleslaw.



Irish soda bread was also served... yummy! A favorite easy bread for any meal.



Roasted red potatoes that were mashed. A particularly savory way to roast the potatoes is by covering them with the green part of leeks that usually gets thrown out. And if you have any left over mashed, you can make potato leek soup (using the 'good' white part of the leeks) the next day!




Last but not least, green cupcakes for dessert! A very talented 4 year old helped me frost them later :)
