What a delicious looking post! I have been thinking about those mint chocolate Oreo fudge bars for days and my husband has requested Irish soda bread (I have to give Bridget’s a try–it calls for buttermilk and I’ve always used yogurt). I also have a nice head of savoy cabbage, so I guess I’ll be doing pretty well with Irish and green themed food today. Congratulations on your recipe features–we give the homemade Bailey’s a big thumbs up!!

I have a GREAT bread coming this week that if you want to hang on til Wednesday, it’s along those lines. It’s soda bread-ish but enhanced and you’re going to love it. I wish I had gotten it posted before the holiday but it will go out this week on Wed. if you wanna wait but otherwise, can’t go wrong with hers.
Glad the homemade Baileys gets a big thumbs up!

Wow, recipe overload here! Great inspiration! We’ve never been huge St. Patrick’s Day celebrators, especially since it’s a Sunday this year. Hopefully I’ll remember to wear green! :-)

Knowing you, I can see you making a green smoothie or juice, with a green sauce for some green veggies or something! :) Have a great weekend!

Yum! Those all look DELICIOUS! I have a mint chocolate green protein smoothie planned for my blog tomorrow! I also was in Ireland in September and made a delicious Healthy Irish Soda Bread to go with the post I did on our time in Ireland – here’s the link – http://www.nutritionistinthekitch.com/2012/09/22/a-taste-of-ireland-irish-soda-bread-with-smoked-salmon-tangy-horseradish-sauce/
