The Menu
Starter
Sauerkraut Salad: "Goes great with the corned beef and cabbage!"
Side Dishes
Irresistible Irish Soda Bread: "Good, easy recipe. Make beforehand for best flavor."
Spiced Apples: "Serve 'em warm as a side. They go very well with the corned beef. Fast, easy, delicious!"
Dessert
Irish Potato Candy: "I have an old recipe using 3/4 c mashed potatoes, 4 c. powdered sugar, 1 t vanilla, 2 c. shredded coconut. Mix together. Shape 1 teaspoonful into ovals. Roll in cinnamon/powdered sugar mix. Make eyes with slivered almonds. Cute and delicious."
Shamrock Cookies: "Use your favorite rolled butter cookie recipe, cut into shamrock shapes, frost with buttercream icing tinted green and sprinkle with green sugar. Good alternative for those who don't like cheesecake."
Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake: "Perfect ending to an Irish meal."
Beverages
Irish Coffee: "Just add a shot of the Irish Cream (left over from the cheesecake) to fresh-brewed hot coffee."
Preparation/Serving Suggestions
"I got 3 yards of shamrock-printed cotton fabric to cover the table and decorated it with live shamrock plants and green candles. I always use my white dinner china--they go with every theme I come up with."
