Traditional irish recipes for Saint Patrick's Day

If you haven’t noticed by now, I love sharing some Irish Inspired recipes during the month of March. I decided to gather these Traditional Irish Recipes for Saint Patrick’s Day for a one spot stop if you are looking for some Irish recipes this month.

Yes, I am part Irish and my birthday is the day after St. Paddy’s Day so we love celebrating! We have held a St. Patrick’s Day Party every year since we moved into our home. I generally like to prepare some more traditional Irish recipes for my family. But I have noticed that Irish recipes are hard to come by. Most of the internet is flooded with “Green” colored desserts and Lucky Charm Treats. Well, that is totally fine and I have fun making those too but wanted to share some more traditional and classic Irish Cuisine.

My bucket list trip is to be able to visit the Green Emerald Isle one day, explore, and taste the real culture. So, I am no expert on what is real cuisine but I do know that the recipes are simple, comfort foods that make use of their surrounding crops. Potatoes are a must, oats, and if you want to consider beer and whiskey a crop… then yes those are included in the cooking, too.

Even if you aren’t Irish, everyone is a wee bit Irish on St. Patricks’ Day! Preparing these festive recipes on March 17th will bring the Emerald Isle a little closer to home.
