With St. Paddy's Day just around the corner, you are probably getting your holiday meal plan together. I know the meat counters and produce departments at your local market are piled high with corned beef and cabbage. But c’mon can’t we agree it’s time to ditch the tired corned beef and cabbage routine? This year why not spice things up with some fresh, mouthwatering recipes that'll make your taste buds dance an Irish jig!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But, like, isn't St. Paddy's Day all about corned beef and cabbage?" Well, my dear foodie friends, prepare to have your minds blown and your palates tantalized because I've got three deliciously unexpected recipes that'll have you feeling luckier than a leprechaun with a pot of gold!

First up on the menu, we've got my very own Perfect Sunday Roast with Guinness au jus. Now, I don't know about you, but there's a whole lot to love about a good ol' Sunday roast, especially when it's coated in a crip herby crust and infused with the rich, malty goodness of Guinness stout. Imagine sinking your teeth into juicy slices of perfectly roasted beef, drizzled with a velvety au jus made from Guinness. It's like a taste of Ireland right in your own kitchen!  Serve this up with a heaping spoonful of Real Irish Colcannon and a glass of Monticello Napa Valley Proprietary Red for a magical pairing.

Next, we've got Real Irish Colcannon from Culinary Ginger, a classic Irish side dish with a delicious twist that's like a cozy hug for your belly. Picture this: creamy mashed potatoes loaded with tender cabbage, Irish Cheddar, and vibrant green onions and just the right amount of butter. It's comfort food at its finest! Plus, it's super easy to make, so you can spend less time slaving away in the kitchen and more time enjoying the craic with your pals. For a lazy night in, one could make a meal out of this alone by adding some smokey bacon and paired with a glass of chilled Dutton Estate Blushing Sisters Rosé.

Last but certainly not least, we've got a dish that's sure to make waves at your St. Paddy's Day shindig: One Pot Whiskey Glazed Salmon with cream sauce from Sweet C’s. Now, I know what you're thinking – whiskey and salmon? Trust me, darlings, this one will blow your minds! This dish is all about balance – the flavor of the whiskey glaze perfectly complements the richness of the salmon, while the creamy sauce adds a luxurious finish that'll have your guests begging for seconds. Plus, it's a one-pot wonder, so cleanup is a breeze!  Pair this dish with Chateau Montelena Chardonnay for a match made in culinary heaven!

Now you’ve got three mouthwatering St. Paddy's Day recipes that'll have you celebrating in style! Whether you're indulging in the Perfect Sunday Roast with Guinness au jus or impressing your guests with One Pot Whiskey Glazed Salmon, one thing's for sure – your taste buds are in for a wild ride!
