St Patrick’s Day Recipes
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a Feast Full of Flavor!
These recipes bring a mix of tradition and creativity with recipes that honor Irish classics while adding my own delicious twist. Warm up with coffee and tea drinks that have a boozy kick, perfect for toasting the occasion. Enjoy hearty mains like bacon and cabbage, but with my signature touch—Parmesan-infused parsley sauce for extra richness. While corned beef isn’t a traditional Irish dish, it’s a beloved staple in America, so of course, it’s on the menu! I’ve also included comforting cottage pies, a variety of homemade breads (ideal for smothering in butter), easy sides, and irresistible desserts—some boozy, some not, but all absolutely divine. Whether you’re embracing your Irish roots or just love a good feast, these recipes will make your celebration one to remember!
Mardi Gras Recipes
Let the Good Times Roll with These Mardi Gras Recipes!
Mardi Gras is all about bold flavors, festive drinks, and indulgent bites—and this lineup has you covered! Kick things off with a classic Hurricane cocktail, the ultimate party starter. If there’s a chill in the air, my Hot Toddy will warm you right up. For a crispy, savory treat, my family-favorite pan-fried okra never disappoints. Adding Cajun spices to my mains has turned up the heat, while my honey garlic shrimp bring the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I may not have beignets, my powdered sugar-coated doughnuts make a delicious substitute, alongside sweet potato muffins topped with rich brown sugar frosting. Whether you’re celebrating in New Orleans or from your own kitchen, these recipes bring the spirit of Mardi Gras home!

Halloween Recipes
Get ready to add some spooky fun to your Halloween with this collection of entertaining recipes that will make your party a scream! From eerie appetizers to devilish desserts, each recipe is packed with flavor and a festive twist. My favorite Halloween tradition is hosting a themed party where we all dress up. One year, the kids convinced us to do a Wizard of Oz theme, and another year, we went as hot dogs and ketchup!
This Halloween menu has everything you need for a spooky spread: Orange Crush “Bones,” Zucchini Pizza Bites, and Mummy Pizza Bread are perfect bite sized treats to get the party started. For a haunting main course, try the Wild Rice Butternut Squash Turkey-Stuffed Peppers carved with pumpkin faces, or the Roasted Tomato Garlic Soup served with Breadstick Snakes. Classic Mummy Hot Dogs with Spicy Ketchup are always a hit, especially alongside a “puking pumpkin” filled with Guacamole for extra gross out fun.
Of course, no Halloween party is complete without desserts like Chocolate Spider Brownie Doughnuts, Spider Brownies with sticky marshmallow webs, or Halloween Chocolate Bark paired with a Chocolate Tumbler spiked with coffee liqueur. For a sweet and spooky touch, I love making Dark Chocolate Candied Orange Slices, they’re great on their own or as a garnish!
And don't forget to set up a candy board with homemade treats like White Chocolate Orange Cornflake Clusters alongside your store-bought favorites for guests to snack on throughout the night. These recipes are sure to add a spooky spark to your celebration, making Halloween even more fun for the whole family!
