When it comes to holiday celebrations, St. Patrick’s Day holds an array of delicious possibilities. It might not be traditionally Irish, but we’re just as excited to don something green and whip up a Shamrock Shake as we are to load our plates with corned beef and cabbage. From Irish soda bread and colcannon, to a Guinness-spiked chocolate cake and festive drinks, these are the essential recipes for a memorable St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

Breakfast

Why wait until dinner to start the St. Paddy’s Day celebration? From scones to soda bread to hearty hashes, these are the festive breakfasts that will make your tastebuds do a jig.
