Luck-O-the-Irish

In about six days we get to celebrate that glorious holiday, once a year, where everyone has the excuse to drink massive amounts of beer. Being the good Christian, Southern girl that I am...of course I don't drink beer. Or smoke. Or kiss boys. Okay, one out of three ain't bad....

Moving on....

In about six days we get to celebrate that glorious holiday of St. Patrick's Day! Now that I think about it...it not only gives you reason to drink massive amounts of beer, but also reasons to kiss or be kissed IF you are Irish. (You know...kiss me, I'm Irish.) Someone way down the line in my family was Irish. Which means in my mutt American blood, I'm part Irish...so...line up boys!

I'm totally getting distracted by the beer and the kissing....

In about six days we get to celebrate that glorious holiday of St. Patrick's Day! What better way to celebrate than to cook a dish with Irish beer! I hear the cheers in the crowd already!

I came across this link via Twitter for Guinness cupcakes. These sound and look delish!

But I also wanted to pass along a link to one of my previous posts for Chocolate Guinness brownies. They are super rich, and super delicious! I recommend making the raspberry sauce and serving with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

What are you favorite St. Patty's Day treats or Irish???

Happy cooking!

Sorry I'm so slow reading your blog, but I can point to the *exact* Irish relative in your family. John Dease your 4th great grandfather was in fact Irish. He immigrated sometime around the early 1800's. (His sons were born in 1807 and 1812 in Alabama.) I spent my Spring Break playing with the family tree. Let me know if you would like more information about the countries your family came from to give you excuses to kiss or drink. :)
