St. Patrick's Day Breakfast Idea | Lucky Charms + Green Milk

Today I have a breakfast idea for all the moms or dads that don’t have time to be Martha Stewart but want to make fun memories for their kids. Simply grab a box of Lucky Charms from the grocery store. Then pour a glass of milk and add a few drops of green food coloring. Let the kids pour the green milk over the cereal for a special St. Patrick’s breakfast treat. Take it up one more notch by cutting out a few shamrocks and/or gold coins and sprinkling them on the table. Or add a shamrock placemat. I got mine at At Home but it’s not sold online. I linked a similar one below for a few more dollars on sale at Kohl’s. A simple bowl of Lucky Charms with green milk will send your kids off to school with a fun memory to share with their friends.

IRISH SODA BREAD | PATRICK’S DAY

03/13/2023

This week I have a few simple recipes for St. Patrick’s Day to share before the big day. We all know of corned beef and cabbage. How about a fresh baked loaf of Irish soda bread to go with it? It is an extremely easy bread to make from scratch because is rises using baking soda rather than yeast and requires no rising time. If you’re afraid of attempting homemade bread, give this recipe a try. You won’t even need the luck ‘o the Irish for it to turn out. The recipe is very simple using a stand mixer with a bread hook attachment but can also easily be mixed by hand. Raisins can also be added to the dough, if desired. I’m going to try that next time for a little touch of sweetness. Decorative shamrocks were made from spinach leaves and cut out with mini shamrock cookie...

ST. PATRICK’S BAR CART + GREEN BEER

03/09/2023

Since it’s #thirstythursday and one week until St. Patrick’s day, I wanted to share the perfect formula for making your own green beer in the event you opt to stay in on the 17th away from the crowds. I have fun setting up the bar cart for different occasions (New Year’s Eve / Super Bowl / Just Because / Christmas). Here is my St. Patrick’s bar cart this year. Green beer with edible gold flakes. Gold coins. Fun battery-operated shamrock light strands. Irish Ale beer. Okay, it’s made in KC but it has Irish in the name. Good enough. Irish liquors. Cheers St. Patrick’s Day! Now for a few tips to make the perfect green beer. Yes, unfortunately, the only way I know to make green beer is with food coloring. If you are anti-food coloring, no problem. It tastes the same without it. For the perfect green beer...
