Rate My Menu (NMR)
This St. Patty's day is also my day to cook at the Ronald McDonald House so I've been trying to put together a fun menu.. this is what I've got:
Green Leprechaun Punch
Classic Irish Soda Bread
Mini Shepards Pies (cooked in muffin tins!)
Green Velvet Cupcakes w/Cream Cheese Frosting
Anything else you'd ad? Keep in mind I'm flying solo for cooking so ease is a must!

Re: Rate My Menu (NMR)
Does it have to be individual serving type things or could you make corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot?
*edited typo, need coffee
I agree. Maybe add an interesting salad
Doesn't need to be individual. The only reason I didn't do corned beef was because I thought that was really taste specific, there could be a lot of people who don't like that. And serving 30 people corned beef could get expensive. BUT... if it was just another smaller option that could be doable. Do you have any crock pot recipes for that?
I agree corned beef is definitely an acquired taste but if you did the crockpot recipe, a green salad, and the pies you'd have everyone covered.
You could do a small corned beef and a cabbage separately. I thought everyone liked it. Pfffft.
Um, my mom always just got the pre-packaged corned beef and threw it in the crock pot. She'd add the cabbage about 30 mins before we were ready to eat. You could also add some potatoes to fill a bit more room so you don't spend a fortune on a huge hunk of beef.
Mmmm.....now I'm hungry.
I think its great!
I'm not a corned beef fan so I wouldn't eat it but it would be a nice addition to your menu for those that like it.
I love corned beef! Your menu reminded me to make the soda bread. I knew I was forgetting something!
Im also making Guinness Chocolate cupcakes with Bailey's Irish cream frosting.
I second this!
I have always hated corned beef, so I appreciate alternatives, but I think some people might expect it. I always figured it was cheap bc it's what the irish immigrants (my ancestors, a poor lot) ate.
All I can ask is to _please_ not put raisins or currents into the soda bread.
I have no clue what it is that people serve here as soda bread, but it bears no resemblance to what I grew up eating. Mom was taught to make it by Dad's family when they got married - Dad's from Galway and emigrated after college. Most of his family is still in Ireland... It always weirds me out when someone hands me something called "soda bread" and it looks and tastes like a biscuit (sometimes a sweet biscuit?!). Wacky.
This is my favorite bread recipe ever. I don't know if it's all that authentic, but it definitely doesn't have fruit, and it's not sweet.

You still need veg.
