Dublin Coddle Pot Pie

It's March.

In my world, that means that all of the stores near me are selling St. Patty's day goodies, from food to home decor to holiday outfits.  Everything is shamrocks and leprechauns and 'kiss me, i'm irish'.  For someone like me, who is part Irish, I like to use this time of the year to focus my attention on my Irish heritage.  This goes for not only food, but celebrating different Irish traditions as well.  At some point in the year, my claddaugh ring comes off and I only remember to put it back on in March.  I decorate my house with lots of green pillows, shamrock crafts and Gaelic quote boards on the wall.  Almost everything I bake is infused with green food coloring. 

If you couldn't tell, I take things way too far, way too often.

I love celebrating even the smallest things, so Saint Patrick's Day for me is an all-month event.  So it would make sense that I spend all month sharing my favorite Irish recipes. Some of these recipes are pretty authentic while some are more inspired by flavors I associate with St. Patty's day. 

Some are savory and some are sweet.  You'll get multiple menus worth of ideas here for the month of March!

So. in honor of this wonderfully, bright green holiday, I'm devoting this whole month to giving you some Irish-influenced recipes that will get you in the Erin Go Bragh spirit!
