We are celebrating this weekspring forward to longer days and have fun on St. Patricks Day!
We’re having baked potatoes, beef stew, and of course, shamrock shakes.
For St. Patrick’s Day, my elementary school-aged kids built leprechaun traps in the classroom.
They were thrilled when they later returned to mayhem resulting from the leprechauns.
We’re skipping the mayhem and pinching at my house this year.
I suggest serving Irish soda bread with the skillet lemon rosemary chicken.

In-season greens make an appearance in the pan-seared pork chops.
If ever there was a week to make shamrock shakes, this is it!

Spoon the filling back into the potato shell and bake until warmed through.
Save the liquid from the can of artichokes and add it to the risotto for a stronger artichoke flavor.
The slow cooker makes this dinner doable on a weeknight.

Use Guinness extra stout and not draught for the best full-bodied and balanced flavor.
Before popping the chicken in the oven to finish cooking, add garlic and onions.
Copycat Shamrock Shake
Skip the drive-thru and make a homemade version of McDonalds Shamrock Shake.

Mint extract flavors the vanilla ice cream shake.
Top it with a swirl ofwhipped creamand a maraschino cherry.
Make it boozy with a dash or splash of vodka, whiskey, or Irish cream.
