St. Paddy’s Day Mac and Cheese

March 14, 2019

I can hardly believe St. Patrick’s day is less than a week away!  How will you be celebrating?  Corned beef and cabbage? Shamrock shakes and green beer?  I thought I would mark the occasion by giving a comfort food classic an Irish twist – St. Paddy’s Day Mac and Cheese.  I’ve added in Guinness Stout and Irish Cheddar Cheese to give a childhood favourite a flavourful, grown-up makeover. It’s decadent, creamy and so delicious. I bet you’ll never make regular Mac and Cheese again!  Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Irish Coffee Blondies

Irish Coffee Blondies

When you think of St. Patrick’s Day you probably think of one of two things … the colour green or beer; since green beer is a thing at this time of year – perhaps you’re only thinking of one thing 😉 This year, I thought I would forgo the green food coloring and opt for a play on a classic, the Irish Coffee. Soft and chewy, these Irish Coffee Blondies are infused with classic flavours in two ways – ground coffee in the batter and Irish whiskey in the sugar glaze. Fresh ground coffee is best for the flavour, so if you have only ever used instant, you can check out some more information on grinding coffee from Mommysmemorandum or somewhere similar. The perfect sweet treat for the holiday. Enjoy!
