There is nothing more cozy and homey than Irish recipes.

Every Irish recipe I have made has filled my home with aromas of goodness.

I almost feel they should only be eaten on rainy days so they can properly serve their purpose of warming your belly and filling you up.

That said, we are expecting a beautifully sunny day here in the Bay Area this St. Patrick’s Day and that would never stop me from making these Irish recipes to enjoy with my family!

In this post, we will give you 4 recipes to make the perfect St. Patrick’s Day family dinner.

Okay, let’s get right to the recipes!

4 IRISH RECIPES TO MAKE A PERFECT ST. PATRICK’S DAY FAMILY DINNER

These recipes, if made together, provide a well-rounded family dinner that will literally leave your family licking their fingers and chops!
MAIN COURSE: IRISH STEW
Irish Stew Recipe for St. Patrick's Day
We find this much more appealing to children than Corned Beef and Cabbage. Not to mention, the Irish Soda Bread we hope you make is the perfect dipping accompaniment.

Everyone knows that warm stew + warm bread = LOVE!

SIDE DISH: IRISH SODA BREAD

When your Irish Stew is baking succulently in the oven, it is a great time to prepare the Irish Soda Bread.

Put emphasis on searing an “X” on the top of your loaf and let your family know that some people believe that the “X” was cut into the bread to ward off evil, and other’s believe it was to let fairies out of the bread.

A fun family discussion might entail asking each family member their theory before you tell them, or asking everyone to come up with their own unique belief about why there is “X” in the bread.

CONDIMENT: HOMEMADE BUTTER

Never easier, never tastier, homemade butter is in one word, a TREAT!

TIP: Don’t forget the salt, and make sure to allow time to shake the butter to completion. When complete, it should look like the butter in the picture below.

When I make this with my students, I always play Irish music while the shakin’ occurs. We would sit in a circle and when the music stopped, the jar would be passed to the next person to continue with the shaking when the music started up again. They loved it!

You could make butter with your family the day before your Irish family dinner.

DESSERT: GLAZED IRISH TEA CAKE

In a world, YUM. The perfect dessert for your Irish family dinner.

This recipe cooks at the same temperature as the Irish Soda Bread conveniently.

Your house will smell so good, so homey, and so Irish!

If you have Irish Tea on hand, make a pot for everyone to enjoy with their Tea Cake. Be sure to offer up a little milk, cream or sugar.

It will be the perfect ending to your St. Patrick’s Day Family Dinner.
