Beef & Guinness Pies
These beef-and-vegetable pot pies are made with a secret ingredient (shh—it's chocolate!) for a comforting St. Paddy's Day meal.

St. Patrick's Day Cookies
Is there any cuter way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with shamrock shaped cookies? Our easy sugar cookie recipe always keeps it shape while baking so you can relax in knowing all of your leaves will come out perfectly round and defined.

Irish Beef Stew
Traditionally, an Irish stew is made with lamb, which you can totally do. We opted for braising steak for simplicity and familiarity, but we think the Guinness and potatoes still qualify the stew as Irish.

Chocolate Guinness Cake
Chocolate + stout = one of the greatest dessert combos of all time. The proof is in this cake (and in our Baileys S'mores Floats). Make sure your Guinness is room temperature, it makes it easier to incorporate into the batter.

Green Eggs & Ham
Dr. Seuss wants us all to try green eggs and ham and with this easy scrambled egg recipe we have no need not to. Skip the food colouring and use spinach and lots of fresh herb to give the eggs a green makeover.

Slow Cooker Corned Beef & Cabbage
Traditional corned beef and cabbage takes a while to cook on the stovetop—about 3 hours, depending on the size of your brisket. This recipe may add a few hours to the overall time, but it's so much easier.

Irish Coffee
Coffee and whiskey never tasted so good, plus it's super traditional to sip on one of these to celebrate St Patrick's Day.

Healthy Pesto Pasta
Pesto is great for a quick meal, but the jarred version never quite seems to retain the vibrant green colour and aroma of freshly blitzed, homemade pesto. That's why we've made this lovely one for you.

Guinness Brownies
Yep, St Patrick's Day demands these brownies. They're fudgey, chocolately and seriously good.

Guacamole Devilled Eggs
If you love avocados, raise your hand—and mix them into egg yolks, mayo, and a little mustard for green devilled eggs.
Get the Guacamole Devilled Eggs recipe.
Irish Apple Cake
This tender cake is jam-packed with apples, which is why we think it's perfectly appropriate to eat a slice for breakfast. 😉 The custard sauce isn't totally necessary, but it is traditional, and delicious to boot.

Guacamole
Everyone has opinions about guac. Some, like us, like it simple. We prefer to let the flavour of our avo's shine. Others like to go crazy on the mix-ins: spices, tomatoes, garlic, etc. If that's your thing, this guacamole is the perfect jumping off point.

Irish Nachos
The cheese sauce is where things get interesting; this one's made with Guinness and cheddar and a pinch of cayenne because we <3 beer cheese.
Get the Irish Nachos recipe.
Avocado Grilled Cheese
Who knew guac and grilled cheese were meant to be together? It certainly adds a little green pop for a St Paddy's Day sarnie.

Pot O' Gold Cups
