Not only are these recipes easy and great for getting you and your friends into the Irish spirit; they are also delicious, and extremely important if you are choosing to partake in all–day drinking activities! Whether it’s for a group of 5 or 15, all of these recipes are simple and enjoyable to cook, making it easy for you to stay fuelled this St. Paddy’s Day!
Baileys and Coffee
Like homecoming, St. Paddy’s is a full day event and that means kicking off the festivities early in the morning! Instead of going into the day using the ‘hair of the dog’ approach, switch out your plain cup of joe for one with an extra kick of Baileys in it! Remember, St. Paddy’s is a full day event! If you’re planning to make it through the day and go out at night with your friends, then your day of drinking should be a marathon, not a sprint.
Leprechaun Pancakes
Pancakes are an easy, inexpensive meal to cook, making them the perfect breakfast to kick start your St. Paddy’s day! As well, they are an easy meal to impress your guests with. The night before, quickly whip up a big enough batch of pancakes to fuel your friends with the next morning. Add in a few drops of green food colouring to get everything, even your breakfast into the Irish spirit! At 8 a.m. the next morning, all that will be required of you is to cook up some cakes and VOILA! You are already well on your way to having the best St. Paddy’s day yet.
Green Eggs and Ham
Because it’s St. Paddy’s day, we couldn’t possibly pass up the perfect opportunity to try out the famous meal: green eggs and ham from one of the greatest childhood books of our time! This recipe requires a few more ingredients than the previous ones, however, it’s still a fun meal to try out at least once in your life– what better time than this St. Paddy’s!?
Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Squares
This easy recipe will require you to get in the kitchen the day before St. Paddy’s, however, this great snack will certainly keep you fuelled throughout the day! (Pro Tip: save some of the Lucky Charms marshmallows from the cereal mix and sprinkle them on top of your Leprechaun pancakes for the ultimate pancake breakfast!)
St. Paddy’s Day is a wonderful time to get together with friends and celebrate a day full of fun! However, remember to stay fuelled with these leprechaun essentials. Whether you’re drinking or not, having some substance in your belly will make sure you last all day, and help you have the best time you can this year! Eat up, and get ready to PADDY!
