Authentic Irish Fare For Your St. Paddy's Day Party

St. Patrick’s Day is only a hop, skip and a jig away, so grab your shillelagh and let’s get this party started.

Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, is best known for having driven the snakes out of Ireland. Nicely done Pat. I hate snakes, but I love snacks...

Whether you're Irish or not, St. Paddy's Day is a smashing reason to throw a party.

You could go the traditional route and serve all-things-green.

Like this green velvet cake.

Or, you could serve authentic-ish Irish food; a tastier choice in my opinion. Here’s a sample finger food menu with recipe links.
