St. Patrick’s Day 2017: Recipe inspiration

It’s almost that time of year again that nearly 5 million people celebrate being Irish, and millions of others wish they were. I’ve made quite a lot more recipes involving either Irish ingredients or based on traditional Irish recipes this last year, so there’s plenty for you all to choose from! Make sure to shop for local products as well, so you’ll have the best of the Irish produce when cooking any of these recipes.

I hope you all have a fantastic day on Friday, let me know in the comments below how you plan on celebrating!
