Corned Beef Dinner
Do you have a recipe for a corned beef dinner, with cabbage, potatoes, etc.?
—Rose
Hi Rose! I most certainly do have an Irish corned beef dinner! Head on over to St. Pat’s Corned Beef & Cabbage for an all-in-one recipe for corned beef, cabbage and potatoes—see Grandma’s Secret Tip at the bottom for the potato instructions, or use my recipe for Old-World Colcannon or O’Brien Potatoes. Don't forget the Irish Soda Bread! And be sure to browse all of my St. Patrick’s Day Recipes. Erin go braugh!

QuestionGrandma, I am a grandma too, but I do have a question about sour cream in general. I really do not like it at all, not the taste, not the smell, or not in recipes. (Because I can usually taste it.) Is there a substitute ingredient that I can use that would give my finished dish a good outcome — or what are my options besides just giving up and pick another dish to make?March 2012
