Are you celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in any way?
We have no plans.
When we lived in Chicago, talk about a week long party. They dye the Chicago River green every year, the bars and nightlife is beyond crazy, and it’s one big party. For a week.
Saint Paddy’s Day is what I like to think of as Chicago’s version of Mardi Gras and because of the huge Irish population that lives there, and there’s more than one or two green beers being served.
Do you have a favorite Irish food, favorite way to eat potatoes, or a favorite green food?
Sugar snap peas, broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts are staples in my world.
Chocolate kale chips are a nice way to eat greens and chocolate together. Everything is better with chocolate.
Jello shots and green brownies are fun once year. Not that I would know.
Thanks for the Soyfoods Giveaway entries
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
I moved from Chicago in 1974 and have never, ever tried to celebrate 3/17 since then. Your string of gorgeous photos – and how I celebrate them – is my St. Patrick’s Day. Larry and I spent 9 hours in day 1 of training to be volunteers at San Diego Hospice. Pizza tonight – our 3/17 supper will be pushed to tomorrow #exhaustedemotionally
I knew you were from Chicago but had forgotten. See, another thing your hubs and mine could talk about…comparing Chicago stories and playing Jewish (Chicago) Geography. I bet they know some of the same people….lol
You guys are Saints for your hospice volunteer work. Bless your hearts!!
I will be going out with friends for some Guinness I believe :-)
Loved those Sweet Potato Graham Cracker French Toast Sticks!!! Yum! Happy St.Patrick’s day!
The pictures don’t even do them justice…MAKE THEM!!!
Nothing on the agenda to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day around our house, but I did eat that exact Zucchini with creamy lemon sauce. YUM!! Have a great weekend, Averie!
Glad you tried it and liked it :)
Happy St. Paddy’s Day to you and the fam!
A crowd pleasing green food…Edamame Hummus

Gotta Love St Patty’s Day. Thanks for all of the fabulous recipes!!!
I never seen the cucumber wraps, those look wonderful! I love all of the potato recipes. I’m made at myself, I keep forgetting to pick up a box of graham crackers. Wonderful post. I’m bookmarking this one so I can make some of your recipes.
I have sooo many graham crackers, wish I could donate some to you!
I’ve always avoided going out for this holiday in fear of drunk drivers. I’ll be forced to be out of the house since I’m acting in a short shooting tomorrow-no time for celebratory cooking. Maybe I’ll have some Bailey’s at the end of the day to celebrate, though. Can’t go wrong with Bailey’s on the rocks:)
Enjoy the Baileys…sounds PERFECT!
I’ve never celebrated St. Patrick’s Day before, but I might guzzle a couple beers with friends. But I would love every single dish in your fabulous round-up, Averie. :-)
Thanks, Sophia! Hope you’re doing fabulously!
I’ll have the guac and brownies, please. ;) Great roundup!!
My sister lived in Chicago for a year and I still remember the picture she sent us of the river dyed green – so awesome! Green bagels are my tradition for St. Patty’s — I despise beer :)
I despise beer, too. I’d rather be sober than drink beer if that’s my two choices. Okay that sounds horrible, but ykwim. I HATE it!
Great recipe round up, thanks! We’re having a family gathering for St. Patty’s Day, but I still haven’t decided what I’m bringing.
No plans for St. Patrick’s Day, but I will be eating green food in the form of a gigantic salad of some kind! I tried the tempeh–good stuff with a nice chew to it! I couldn’t find any fig butter but I have a vitamix so I improvised with dried figs and wound up with a thick sauce. You really come up with some great flavor combinations!
That’s great you liked the tempeh and you could marinate it/sauce it up with anything…I just happened to have fig butter. Even a blend of ketchup, mustard, agave, salt, pepper, and EVOO reduced for 2 mins with the tempeh could be like tempeh sloppy joes or w/ bbq sauce…so many ways to go with it!
This is the best roundup EVER. That last recipe? I drooled. YUM!
Thanks, Claire!
I have never really celebrated it before, but since it falls on a Saturday night I’m tempted to actually go out and do something. Watch my husband drink a green beer or something. I absolutely love potatoes, pretty much any which way. Throw something green on top like spinach and I’m good to go!
