Hi, Happy St. Patricks Day everyone. I have a couple of great recipes for you and some beautiful photos. I wanted to post them a day ahead so you'll have time to go to the store if you want to make these tomorrow. I know you all love to eat great food and I love to cook it. I have been experimenting a lot lately and will share those recipes with you. The people my hubby works with and my neighbor are really loving this phase of my cooking. I make it, they eat it. I got some good comments about St. Patty's Day from some of my followers. Marie, Shannon and Nancy, you will all be getting something special soon. Thanks for following and for commenting. I am really working on making this a site you want to visit every day!!

So you have a meal fit for a leprechaun. Or your family, which ever you'll be serving today. Now don't forget that the traditional dish for St. Patty's Day is corn beef and cabbage. I went to the farmers market in Immokalee, FL and found the most beautiful head of cabbage to cook. I haven't cooked it yet, but I wanted you to see it. It's so BIG and beautiful and I only paid $1.00 for it. It will feed an army...
Love the soup pic and recipe. The coffee sounds good too. Great job Debbie, wish we lived close, I would volunteer to be your official taste tester.
