Saint Patricks day is around the corner. I am sure many of you will be celebrating with green beer and tasty food.. So I decided I would make a couple things for the guys in tradition to the holiday!
Jagger's Family Saint
Patrick’s Day Menu
Shepard's Pie with Steak..
( Will post the recipe soon! But its pretty much like a roast but with browned mashed potatoes on top. However, dark beer gives it the rich taste! I have made it off and on and just do it, but I will get a recipe before the weekend done for you guys!
A very Irish Meal For Saturday!
And then I am planning on making these little cookies..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shamrock Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cupbutter (1-1/2 sticks)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoonsalt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoonpeppermint extract or vanilla
- Few drops green food coloring
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Green colored sugar
Directions
1. In a large mixer bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until softened (about 30 seconds). Add sugar and salt and beat until fluffy.
2. Add the egg, peppermint extract or vanilla, and a few drops of green food coloring. Beat mixture well.
3. With mixer on low speed gradually add flour to butter mixture and beat well.
4. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Shape each part into a roll about 1 inch thick and about 8 inches long. Roll each in green colored sugar. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
5. Unwrap rolls. Slice crosswise so the slices are 1/4 inch thick. To shape each shamrock, place 3 slices of dough with sides touching in a shamrock shape on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cut a stem from a fourth slice and attach to the shamrock (save the rest of this slice for cutting other shamrock stems). Gently push the slices together so each leaflet curves in slightly.
6. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. With a pancake turner lift the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool. Makes 32 cookies.
- Make Ahead Tip Store the baked cookies in a tightly covered container at room temperature up to 3 days. Or, store the baked cookies in a freezer container in the freezer up to 2 weeks.

And I also plan on picking up some other festive treats at the store on Saturday.
I have actually dreamed about Ireland lately. I don't know why either but why question dreams about the beautiful Irish County side..
Is that not just beautiful? OMG.. I am such a world traveler by ♥. I would sell everything I own, and take off for a loong trip if I could.. with husby, of course!
Are you making any treats for the holiday?
