TBP’s Friday Favorites: St. Patrick’s Day
I love holiday cooking! Here’s a handful of gluten-free recipes to bring the luck o’ the Irish and help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day – and, no, you won’t find any green beer recipes here:
- Matcha Green Tea Pistachio Muffins
- Dill Onion Sandwich Bread
- Irish Soda Bread
- Irish Potato & Cabbage Soup
Make sure to get your greens in, too. Try one of these green smoothies to start the day off right:
Celebrate the day with your kids! Here are some fun ideas to get them involved:
- Green Carnations – this is a great science lesson for little ones
- Gold-Filled Rainbow Pots
- Thumbprint Leprechaun Bookmarks
Much love,
Amy

Thanks for some good ideas for the season! I have made the Irish Soda Bread before and really liked it! I’m looking forward to some tea muffins and green carnations soon.
