As I mentioned last week when I shared my colcannon soup, I’m trying to build up the St. Patrick’s Day recipe selection on this website a little bit more.

While I can make a whole meal out of mini shepherds pies and Baileys brownies, I wanted to share something that will be perfect for leftover corned beef you might have after St. Patrick’s Day. You can also buy some corned beef from a deli specifically to make these for the holiday itself (or anytime), though!

And, as I’ll explain below, these corned beef egg rolls are also a uniquely Detroit creation. But no matter where you hail from, I think you’ll find them fun to make and decadently delicious.

When you’ve been blogging for as long as I have (10 years, if you remember from my lemon curd cake post!), it’s easy to think you have just about every recipe possible in your archive.

But one thing that I very much come up short on is Irish-inspired recipes for St. Patrick’s Day, other than my mini shepherds pies and Baileys brownies.

But watching The Banshees of Inisherin apparently has me inspired, so I have a few new ones planned for this year, including corned beef egg rolls, and this Colcannon Soup recipe.

This soup is inspired by a traditional Irish dish that I was lucky enough to taste while working as a food stylist years ago. The combination of potatoes and cabbage may seem a little boring, but I can promise you that the flavor of the finished cabbage potato soup is anything but!

When it comes to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a meal, those of us who don’t love corned beef (except sometimes in corned beef egg rolls) don’t have a ton of options.

My colcannon soup is always tasty. And sure, we could just drown our sorrows in a beer charcuterie board and Baileys brownies, but you need something more than just cheese and brownies, right?

While my wine and cheese board can certainly make an argument for an entire meal based on cheese and alcohol, I have another idea.

This mini shepherd’s pie recipe is made in a muffin pan, producing perfectly portable, bite-sized versions of a classic St. Patrick’s Day meal.

If you’re attending a gathering this year, these would be perfect. No serving spoon needed, just grab them and enjoy!

I don’t have a ton of St. Patrick’s Day recipes around here. Truth to be told, I don’t think my family has any Irish heritage, and I’d really rather not partake when it comes to some of the traditional foods like corned beef (except corned beef egg rolls, once in awhile).

If I’m feeling in the mood, I might make mini shepherd’s pies or colcannon soup. Or even just have a nice Irish stout alongside a cheese board for beer.

So, unfortunately, if you’re looking for a treasure trove of recipes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, this will probably never be the site for that.

BUT, I do hope that what I lack in quantity, I make up for in quality. And I can assure you, without a doubt, that these Baileys brownies are the ONLY dessert you need for St. Patrick’s Day (or any day of year, really)!

Anybody that knows my husband and I knows that we love beer. Our favorite restaurant (a short walk from our house) is really a beer bar that happens to have great food.

Jeff brews his own beer, and is always seeking out new beers to buy and try. We have a fridge in the garage just for beer. That love of beer has inspired this Cheese Board for Beer.
