Saint Patrick’s Day Special Menu

Saint Patrick’s Day Special Menu

Welcome to the Bass Family Kitchen St Patrick’s Day menu!  We love the idea of themed menus, it lets us get a bit creative.  We started this year with the Valentine’s Day menu, now the St Patrick’s Day and there are more being planned as I type this.  This one is a little different than the first one we did, there are four parts to the YouTube videos.  That way if there’s something that you’d like to see, you don’t have to go through the entire video to find it…plus as a single video it would have been too long!  The menu contains Green Beer, Irish Soda Bread, Shepherd’s Pie and Mint Chocolate Pot-o-Gold Cupcakes with a Bailey’s Buttercream Icing.

With part one, we introduce our menu to you and have a little Irish celebration at the end, green beer!

In creating our little menu for St Patrick’s, we starting looking for a few ideas.  Since we were making a stew like dish, we thought that a bread would go nicely with it.  The Irish soda bread is a very easy bread to make…no yeast, no kneading (well, not much kneading) or rising needed. It’s a very rustic style bread, but it does need to be eaten soon after you make it, it will turn into a hard, inedible mass after a day or so that you could use as a door stop or boat anchor.  It is best fresh out of the oven.  We hope that you enjoy.

This Shepherd’s Pie is loosely based on Alton Brown recipe, but like all others we’ve made, we adapted it to our tastes and made it our own.  This is not a traditional Shepherd’s Pie, but I think it does have more flavor than others we eaten.  We like to add heat wherever possible, but that is optional.  We hope that you enjoy.

We love all Holidays! They give us the chance to put our creative caps on, and whip out some fun “themed” foods. These cupcakes are so adorable and delicious. You or your kids will love breaking open the middle and finding the fun surprise inside. This recipe can be made with the Bailey’s for a fun cupcake for adults, or without the Bailey’s to keep it “kid friendly.”
