Build a better St. Patrick’s Day menu this year!

When I was a kid, St. Patrick’s Day felt synonymous with one thing: green food dye.
Green pancakes.
Green bagels.
Very green beverages.
And while I will never turn down a festive sprinkle moment, Irish-inspired cooking has so much more to offer than a few drops of coloring.
Irish food is hearty, rustic, and comforting. (And yes, sometimes a little boozy.)
Below are some of my favorite Well Plated recipes to build a St. Patrick’s Day menu that goes beyond green food coloring.
