Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, how about some Irish Spuds for dinner ;P

Irish Spuds

Ingredients:

4 potatoes, poked with fork

2 T butter

4 oz. corned beef, chopped

3 T Thousand Island Dressing

1 cup sauerkraut

4 oz. sliced Swiss cheese

parsley

Directions:

1.   Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2.   Microwave potatoes on high for ten minutes.  Rotate and cook seven minutes longer.

3.   Cut off top third of potatoes and scoop out flesh.  Mash with butter, and return to potato skins.

4.  Top with corned beef, dressing, sauerkraut, and cheese.

5.   Bake 10 minutes.

Okay, so this is really like a rueben sandwich in a potato, but I think it looks and tastes Irish!

Yummy!  

Our favorite sauerkraut

All Things Irish Round-up

 

Top 'o the Mornin' to ya, My Lovelies!

I love March.  It's a special month to me and one of my very favorites.  Throughout the years I've celebrated milestones and other special occasions in March, especially St. Patrick's Day, the Patron Saint of Ireland.  In celebration of this month, I've put together a little round-up post honoring the Emerald Isle.

I always like to decorate with greens and other colors during March.  Here is a small sampling of St. Patrick's Day Decor:

A few of our favorite Irish recipes have been featured on the blog, including Guinness Beef Stew.  Here are a few others:

Toasted Chocolate Shamrock

Chocolate Guinness Stout Chocolate Cupcakes with Bailey's Irish Cream Cheese Frosting

Irish Spuds

AND:  I love reading books set in Ireland.  

Click HERE for a round-up of wonderful literature set in Ireland.

Currently, I'm reading a book set in Ireland written by Tana French, author of the Dublin Murder Squad Series.

This is a great series

So far, I am enjoying this new book!

This is a stand alone novel, not part of a series.

According to Gooreads:

Retired detective Cal Hooper moves to a remote village in rural Ireland. His plans are to fix up the dilapidated cottage he's bought, to walk the mountains, to put his old police instincts to bed forever.

Then a local boy appeals to him for help. His brother is missing, and no one in the village, least of all the police, seems to care. And once again, Cal feels that restless itch.

Something is wrong in this community, and he must find out what, even if it brings trouble to his door.

This book will be featured on Literary Friday in the near future!

Do you decorate for St. Patrick's Day?  How will you be celebrating this year?

Until next time...

Blessings!
