“Pot of Gold” Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day! Wear your green, but keep your food and drinks golden with these 28 bright and brilliant recipes!
Green everything on St. Patrick’s Day is so yesterday. While everyone else it busy going green, head directly for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow this year!
From refreshing {and even good for you!} drinks to cocktails to golden dinner and snack ideas, I’m sharing recipes from around the web that bring some glimmer to your grub. I’ve also got an easy dinnertime idea that will help you go for the gold: Simple, yet exotic, Curried Brown Rice with Zucchini!
Brown rice keeps it hearty and filling along with a decent dose of veggies to offset the green beer you might find yourself sipping. Curry powder lends a golden hue to the dish, while cumin makes it warm and inviting. Raisins add a sweet little surprise in every bite and balance out the flavors perfectly. Serve alongside chicken or fish for a complete dinner! {Scroll to the bottom of the post for the recipe.}
No matter which recipe you choose to make, you’ll be “lucky” to have any leftovers! 😉
