Beyond the boiled dinner

soda break with words: beyond the boiled dinner
A recipe of one's own

Forgive me, but I’ve never liked a boiled dinner.

I know. A lot of people like a boiled dinner, and for many, it’s the traditional meal on St. Patrick’s Day.

I’ve got a wee bit of Irish in me and I like to cook, but I had to find my way beyond the boiled dinner. It took some trial and error, but this has been my St. Patrick's Day dinner menu for a while now. And I won't say who, but even those who remain on the side of the boiled dinner have been known to ask for seconds.

St. Patrick's Day Menu
• Corned Beef (flat cut) with a brown sugar/mustard glaze
• Colcannon - mashed potatoes with sauteed onion and cabbage
• Roasted Carrots
• Soda Bread
• Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes
I sometimes make the cupcakes a day ahead, but otherwise make all the dishes the day we celebrate. Especially the soda bread. It’s best the day it’s baked.

What holiday dishes and traditions do you modify and make your own?
