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!

    I’ve been canning Dilly Beans and I have some dill leftover. What should I do with it and is it OK to use dried dill in making dilly beans for next year if I can preserve it some way? I just cut the heads off the stems and put the whole thing in a paper bag, is that a good way to preserve it? --Brenda

    I am using Egg Beaters instead of real eggs for health purposes and some recipes call for so many large egg whites or yolks. When I cook with Egg Beaters and it is just whole eggs the recipe calls for, I use 1/4 cup per egg, like the carton says to. But I don't know how to measure for just the yolks or whites. Can you help me with this? Measuring-wise, how much is 1 yolk and 1 white? Thank you. --Char
